This concrete cylindrical lighthouse, standing 40 meters tall, became operational in 1988. It features a distinctive pattern of black and white horizontal bands on its exterior. The tower incorporates a lantern, gallery, and a circular observation and control room situated roughly one-third of the way up. Its light emits a single white flash every 30 seconds, visible for up to 17.1 nautical miles. Located in Odisha, India, it is situated near the port of Paradip Garh, 1.3 kilometers away. Visitors are welcome to explore the structure.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels into and out of Paradip Port, a key trade gateway on India's eastern coast, ensuring safe passage for cargo ships approaching this busy port.
