Murudeshwar..It is one of the place I long to visit for a very long time. Wonderful Siva temple at sea shore with very high temple gopuram. The big statue of Sivan is actually located on a small hill called Kanduka Giri so the sea on three sides surrounds the temple towering on the hill. The Murudeshwar temple has a history that dates back to a few centuries. A small temple existed here for generations. A recent attraction is the Lord Shiva idol erected beside the temple. The idol towers 123 feet into the sky and is the tallest Shiva idol in the world.
