Bhujanga Park or Radio Park is located at Ajjarkadu, Udupi. This one-acre park is among the few green areas in the temple town. The radio tower stands majestically on a rock in the midst of the park.
It is called Radio Tower because it had a loudspeaker attached to a radio. Till a few years ago, the news at 6 p.m. and other programs broadcast on All India Radio (AIR) in the evening could be heard by the people visiting the park.

The radio park is renovated on 2 October 2020 by K Raghupathi Bhat (Udupi MLA). Now park users can listen to radio every evening from 5.30pm to 8pm and the vast rock formations and stone benches dotting the park serve as natural seats. The radio tower now has a new PA system and radio set. The PA system volume has been set in a manner that the sound of the radio programme resonates within the park and does not disturb the surrounding residential areas. The restoration work has also given life to an alarm that will ring three times a day – at 8am, 12.30pm and again at 8pm. The last of the day’s alarm is also an indicator for those at the park that they need to vacate the premises.
