North Carolina to home the world\u2019s tallest statue of Murugan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

North Carolina is an emerging spiritual destination for Indians away from India. The state is a second home to the growing populace of South Indian immigrants from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka where Lord Murugan \u2013 another name of Karthikeya \u2013 is highly venerated for wisdom, prosperity, success, and victory. Many Indians from the US and Canada take their visiting parents and friends to Somesvara Temple<\/a><\/span> atop Mouth Soma, also known as Mount Kailas of America, in North Carolina. The Venkateswara Temple of North Carolina<\/a><\/span>, with the tallest Gopuram in the US, is nicknamed the Tirupati Balaji Temple of East Coast.<\/p>\n
