About Statue of Shiva

The statue draws both pilgrims and curious travellers, making it one of the more visited stops along this stretch of the Karnataka coast. The setting, with sea on multiple sides and a backdrop of coastal vegetation, lends the site a distinctive atmosphere that distinguishes it from inland religious monuments.
