The site referred to as the Mangalore Lighthouse in the available sources is the navigational light serving the Surathkal area of Mangaluru (Mangalore), on the coast of Karnataka. Source material identifies Surathkal as the northernmost area of Mangaluru (until Mukka), situated between the Gurupura (Phalguni) and Pavanje (Nandini) rivers and near local infrastructure including New Mangalore seaport, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited, and Mangalore International Airport. Surathkal Beach is noted for cleanliness and maintenance. The supplied sources do not provide a construction date, builder, ownership details, exact coordinates for the lighthouse structure, or information about structural changes or access restrictions. No reports of paranormal phenomena, apparitions, spirits, or unusual auditory/physical effects associated with the lighthouse or its immediate environs appear in the provided materials. Similarly, there are no named supernatural entities, local ghost stories, or investigative theories recorded in the supplied sources. Cultural and historical significance in the sources is limited to Surathkal's role as an educational, industrial, and commercial hub in coastal Karnataka (including the presence of the National Institute of Technology, nearby transport and industrial facilities) rather than any supernatural or folkloric associations with the lighthouse itself.
