The Pilgrimage and Natural Beauty of Murudeshwar

Today I am going to tell you a bit about Murudeshwar located on the west coast of  Karnataka and the bank of the Arabian sea. I was too astonished to see the beauty of the Arabian sea surrounded the temple of Lord Shiva. The Temple of Lord Shiva is telling us the rich expertise of architecture in ancient India. Murudeshwar temple is one such temple that looks quite contemporary though it belongs to the ancient era. The temple is dedicated to worshipping Lord Murudeshwara considered to be one of the forms of Lord Shiva. The temple has one gripping thing: it is surrounded by the Arabian Sea from three sides and the temple premises begin with a twenty-storied Gopuram. This temple is built on Kanduka Hill, surrounded by the waters of the Arabian Sea. It is dedicated to Sri Lokankara, and a 20-storied gopura is constructed at the temple. The temple authorities have installed a lift that provides a breath-taking view of the 123-feet Sri Shiva idol from the top of the Raja gopur
