About Udupi District Lighthouses Lighthouse
This cylindrical masonry tower, built in 1901, stands 27 meters tall on a rocky promontory south of Udupi. It features a distinctive pattern of black and white horizontal bands, with a red-painted lantern dome. The lighthouse emits a white light with one flash every 20 seconds, visible for 17.6 nautical miles. District officials announced plans in December 2021 for visitor improvements. The site is open to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's location on a rocky headland aids mariners navigating the Karnataka coast, particularly near the port of Udupi.
