| Sri Krishna Temple |
|
|
|
This
is a very famous temple in Udupi. The statue of Lord Krishna was set up by the
great sage Madhavacharya about 700 years ago. The offerings in the temple start
at 5”o’ clock in the morning and continue all day long, devoid of any
interruptions.
According
to legends, Kanakadasa, an ardent devotee of the Lord was not allowed inside
the temple to see the Lord. But since Lord Krishna was appeased by his
devotion, he turned the idol itself so much so that Kanakadasa was able to see
him through a little window. In fact, the window is known as “Kanakana Kindi”
(which means Kanaka’s window in Kannada) and forms an attractive feature during
the visit to the temple.
The
idol of Lord Krishna here is richly adorned with jewels. It is also the centre
for education, social and religious activities in the district of South Canara.
The
temple is at a distance of approximately 60kms from Mangalore.
