Murudeswara Mahadeva Temple

16 February 2018: Our next temple stop was Murudeswara  a town in Bhatkal Taluk in Uttara Kannada district in the state of Karnataka State.Famous for the world's second tallest Shiva statue, the town lies on the coast of the Arabian Sea and is also famous for the Murdeshwar Temple. Murdeshwar has a railway station on the Mangalore Mumbai Konkan Railway route.From the temple one gets a fabulous view of the magnificent Arabian sea. The tall Rajagopuram in front of the temple is towering like a massive phalanx standing guard over the temple.
