Raja Gopura
The Raja Gopura in Uttara Kannada district, near Karwar, refers to the towering gateway of the Murudeshwar Temple, one of Karnataka’s most iconic religious landmarks. Located in the coastal town of Murudeshwar, this monumental structure rises to a height of 249 feet, making it the tallest temple gopuram in Asia.
It was inaugurated in 2008 and features 21 floors, with a lift that allows visitors to ascend and enjoy panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the massive 123-foot statue of Lord Shiva nearby.
Built on Kanduka Hill and surrounded on three sides by water, the temple complex blends spiritual significance with architectural grandeur. The base of the gopura measures 105 feet in length and 51 feet in width, and is guarded by two life-size concrete elephants.
The intricate carvings and sculptural details reflect traditional South Indian temple design, while the modern amenities make it accessible to pilgrims and tourists alike.
