Shiva temple in Murudeshwar

Shiva Temple in Murudeshvar, Raja Gopur Tower
India, Murudeshwara
The main attraction of Murudeshwar is the temple complex of the god Shiva located on the Kanduka hill. It includes the Shiva temple itself, founded in the 16th century. and restored in 2008, as well as the 20-story Gopura tower and the 37-meter statue of the god Shiva (the latter were built in 2002). Visitors are sure to be impressed by the 2 life-sized elephant statues located at the entrance to the temple and the high tower of Gopura, at the top of which there is an observation platform with an impressive view of the surroundings.

The first thing you see when you get to this place is, of course, the 37-meter Shiva sitting in the lotus position. The sizer is simply dumbfounded - you stand with your mouth open, contemplating this whopper! So what, what's new? The impression is not sickly! This hulk was built by a well-known construction tycoon, a native of these places. Under the statue there is a room in which colorful sculptural compositions are arranged in a circle, very clearly illustrating the part of the Mahabharata, which tells about the demonic king Ravana, who desired to receive a lingam that gives immortality and great power (we saw something similar in a Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka, but it was a completely different story.
