There are two ways to find the cursed statue shrine in Zelda: Breath of the Wild and solve its riddle. Meet Prof Calip in the valley between Fort Hateno and Lanryu Promenade (daytime only) where he is researching some stone statues.

After accepting the request, light a bonfire to speed up time. Cursed statue will only appear during the nighttime with a purple glow in its eyes. To solve the Fort Hateno shrine riddle in Zelda BOTW, you have to destroy the cursed statue with your arrows. This will make the Kam Urog shrine appear right next to the statues.

Alternatively, you can talk to Prof Calip in his house at night and go to the valley mentioned above. If you can’t find the valley with statues, just wait outside Calip’s house till morning and follow him to the valley with stone statues in Zelda BOTW. Repeat the first method to destroy the cursed stone statue and gain access to a brand-new hidden shrine.
