INDIA, August 12, 2025 (Current Affairs): Temples are not just places of worship—they often rise majestically toward the sky as symbols of devotion and artistic achievement. Whether through soaring gopurams in South India, Himalayan shrines perched high in the mountains, or modern spiritual complexes, temples around the world reach impressive heights. The Murudeshwar Temple located in Karnataka, India, stands as the tallest temple in the world. The temple is famous for its 20-story gopuram, rising to 249 feet.
