Murudeshwar temple History

As per the folklore, Kaikasi, mother of Ravana Brahma used to prepare Saikata Linga (Siva Linga made out of Sand) and offer prayers daily. Devas were a little worried about her devotion and instructed Samudra Deva to destroy the Pooja. Samudra Deva raised high and destroyed the Pooja place. Disturbed Kaikasi ordered Ravana to bring Atma Linga from Kailash for her daily Pooja. Ravana did penance for Lord Siva and received Atma Linga. Lord Siva advised him not to keep on the Earth till he reaches Lanka. Ravana while on his way to Lanka noticed sunset and thought of offering prayers to Surya Bhagavan. Ravana looked for a helper and handed the Atma Linga to a Brahmin Cowherd boy (Lord Ganesh disguised himself as a cowherd) and went to offer prayers. After 3 repeated calls, the boy kept the Linga on the Earth. Ravana rushed to place and tried hard to unearth the Linga. The extensive force removed the cloth covering around Atma Linga and threw it away, which landed at many places and one of them is at  Mrideshwara in Kanduka Giri.  As time passes by Mrideshwara changed to Murudeshwara. The main Linga remained at Mahabaleshwar.

More than 500 sculptors from Thanjavur worked for 10 years in building the Gopuram which is 21 storeyed. Gopuram base occupies 105 ft in width and reduces gradually to 78 ft on top. This temple architecture resembles the Dravidian construction style.

Murudeshwara Temple History

Legend date back to Treta Yuga, Kaikesi, mother of Ravana ordered her Son Ravana to bring Siva Atma Linga. Ravana performed strict penance for years. Lord Siva was impressed with the Ravana’s prayers and blessed with Atma Linga. Lord Siva instructed Ravana, not to keep the Atma Linga on the Earth. Ravana who supposed to offer prayers to Surya Bhagavan during Sunset hours started searching for a helper. Ganesh who disguised him as a Brahmin boy offered his help with a condition. He will place Atma Linga on the Earth if Ravana did not return after the third call. Ravana on return noticed the Atma Linga on the ground.

Ravana tried hard to extract the Linga, due to the force parts from Linga were thrown away. A portion of the Linga’s head portion is said to have fallen at Suratkal.  He then tried to remove the case covering and threw it away, which is said to have fallen at Sajjeshwara.  Ravana then threw the lid of the case in anger which landed at Guneshwara (now Gunavanthe) and Dhareshwara. Finally, Ravana removed the cloth covering Atma Linga and threw it away, which landed at Mrideshwara in Kanduka Giri.  As time passes by Mrideshwara changed to Murudeshwara.
