Murudeshwar |
|
| |
Bounded by the shimmering sea and rolling
hills, Murudeshwar is the sort of place which makes you
contemplate about life and what it means to you.
The sea is an intrinsic part of the temple scape at Murudeshwar.
The sea surrounds the temple towering on the small hill
called Kanduka Giri on three sides. A huge 15 m. statue
of Shiva towers over the town and has an overwhelming
presence. The statue, which is only a couple of years
old, is in a complex which encompasses the 500-year-old
Shiva temple.
WIth the roaring sea to the west, the towering hills to
the east and the coconut and areca groves nearby, the
temple attracts a lot of devotees. The temple is covered
with Chalukya and Kadamba sculptures in the Dravidian
style and is believed to be located on the spot where
Ravana flung the cloth covering the Atmatlinga at Gosrakana
while lifting it.
Two life-size elephants in concrete stand guard at the
steps leading to the temple. The temple has several other
beautiful carvings and statues that date back to a few
centuries.
There is also a huge fort behind the temple said to have
been renovated by Tipu sultan, the ruler of Mysore . |
