About Tippu Sultan Gudda Lighthouse
Also known as: Tippu Sultan Gudda (Gangolli, Ganguli)
This cylindrical concrete lighthouse, standing 9 meters tall, displays a white light with two flashes every 10 seconds. Its structure features a hexagonal concrete tower with a lantern and gallery, centered on a two-story round base. Distinctive black and white horizontal bands encircle the tower. Located on the beachfront approximately 4 kilometers north of the Kundapura estuary entrance, it offers a geographic range of 15.3 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but access to the tower itself is restricted. The Karnataka Maritime Board operates the facility.
Why it matters: This lighthouse aids vessels navigating the Kundapura estuary and offers cultural significance through its dedication to Tipu Sultan, a former ruler of Mysore.
