Murudeshwara Temple - Uttara Kannada Dist (Karnataka)guruvayur Om Shankara !!

Murudeshwar of Bhatkal taluk in Uttara Kannada

district is around 165 km from Mangalore on the National Highway

attracting lot of devotees and tourists to the place. This picturesque

place situated between Honnavara and Bhatkal. Bounded by the Arabian

Sea and rolling hills of Western Ghats, the place is a favorite picnic

spot. Probably the finest beach, temple, restaurants, guest houses,

resorts & beautiful garden in coastal karnataka and the most

popular.

 

The sea is an intrinsic part of the temple scape at Murudeshwar. The sea on three sides surrounds the temple towering on the small hill called Kanduka Giri

on three sides. Two life-size elephants in concrete stand guard at the

steps leading to the temple. As one ascends the hillock, there is a

shrine of Jattiga seated on a horse. There is a huge fort behind the

temple, said to have been renovated by King Tippu sultan of Mysore.

Evening visit to see sunset at sun set point is real fulfilling

experience. View of small boats and fishermen coming back to their

houses from quite distances and different sides in the sea make every

body feel the mesmerizing evening.

 

The main attraction of Murudeshwar

is Shiva temple, this sacred place presents some beautiful carvings and

statues, which has a history that dates back to a few centuries

(Threthayuga). The temple which embodies a Shiva Linga is believed to

have erupted when Ravana (Demon King of Lanka) flung the cloth covering

the Atmalinga at Gokarna

while lifting it. Lord Shiva, following a complicated sequence of

events, declared that Murudeshwara should be one of his five holy

places.The idol towers 123 ft in the sky and viewable from a very long distance from the arabian sea. It is the tallest Shiva idol in the world.
