An Evening in temple precinct
Famous for the world's second tallest Shiva statue, the town lies on the coast of the Arabian Sea and is also famous for the Murdeshwar Temple. Murdeshwar is a town in Bhatkal Taluk of Uttara Kannada district in the state of Karnataka, India.
Legend:
Gods (devatas) seek help from Lord Ganesh. He disguised in the form of a boy tricks Ravana to give him the Atma-Linga. While Ravana is doing his prayers, Ganesha places the Linga in Gokarna. Thus, the Linga gets fixed on the ground.
In his anger Ravana tries to take the Linga instead he breaks the Linga. In the process the pieces of Linga gets scattered around Gokarna. The main Atma-Linga is the Mahabaleshwara temple (Gokarna), Sajjeshwar, Dhareshwar, Gunavanteshwar and the cloth covering the Atma-Linga falls in Murudeshwar.
