According to the legend, Ravana brought the Atma Lingam from Mount Kailash. Lord Ganesha using his trick fooled Ravana on his way to Lanka and put down the Linga on the ground at Gokarna. Angered by this, Ravana tried to uproot and destroy the Linga. The broken pieces of the lingam were cast away. The covering cloth of the lingam fell at Kanduka Giri and the #Murudeshwar temple was built at the site.
This temple is situated on a small hill called Kanduka Giri. The temple built with Chalukya and Kadamba sculptures in the Dravidian style. The temple is mainly built of granite. It has a 20-storey high Gopura guarded by two life-size concrete elephants at the steps leading into the temple. The tower is 249 feet tall and is considered the tallest Gopura in the world.
It also has 123 ft high Shiva statue is the second largest Shiva sculpture

Badavilinga, Hampi. 🙏🙏
The Badavilinga Temple has the largest monolithic Shiva Linga in Hampi.
The Shiva Linga has a three eye mark drawn on it in line carving, depicts the three eyes of Bhagwan Shiva.
At a height of 10 feet the beautiful Linga is made of black stone. It is believed that the Temple has been in existence since the period of the Vijayanagara Empire.
The name Badavilinga is a combination of two words – Badva and Linga. In the local language Badva means poor and Linga represents Shiva. Legend has it that the Shiva Linga placed inside the Temple was commissioned by a poverty-stricken peasant woman.
