Murudeshwara Temple is fast becoming one of the most popular tourist spots in #Karnataka because of the humongous statue of Shiva that it houses. The temple is built on the #Kanduka Hill and is surrounded by the Arabian Sea on three sides. Travellers from all over the world come to marvel at not just the 123-ft Shiva temple but also the 20-storey (237ft) Gopuram at the front.
