The Destroyer - Murudeshwar-Karnataka,India

Newer Older

The World's Tallest Shiva statue stands at the shore of the Arabian Sea in Murudeshwar, Mangalore, India.

To create this 123 foot giant statue, it took for a team of expert sculptors to bring it to shape and erect it.

Last year, a powerful thunderbolt struck the other left hand carrying the "Damaru". So repairs are going on right now.

    Fantastic shot. Love the colors, some kind of spiritual magic in it. Thank you for share.
