First save menu_model.php as Menu_model.php with following Code

public function get_main_menu()
{
    $this->db->select("*");
    $this->db->from('menu');
    $this->db->order_by("menu_id", "ASC");
    $query = $this->db->get();
    return $query;
}

Save my_controller.php as My_controller.php with following code.

protected function loadHeader($title = 'Home')
{       
    $this->load->helper('url');
    $this->load->model('menu_model');
    $menu= $this->menu_model->get_main_menu()->result_array();
    $data['menu'] = $menu;
    $data['title'] = $title;
    $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
}

And at your view make the following code:

<?php foreach($menu as $mega_menu): ?> 
    <li class="mega-menu">
    <a href="<?php echo base_url('category/'.$mega_menu['menu_id']); ?>">
    <div><?php echo $mega_menu['menu_name'];?></div>
    </a>
    </li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Some change your my_controller.php. Can $data['menu'] = $menu['menu']; instead of $data['menu'] = $menu;

protected function loadHeader($title = 'Home')
{       
    $menu['menu'] = $this->menu_model->get_main_menu()->result_array();
    //var_dump($menu['menu']); ***This shows data which is mentioned below
    $data['menu'] = $menu['menu'];
    $data['title'] = $title;
    $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);  ***This is line 32
}
