Udupi Sri Krishna Mutt

The Sri Krishna Temple in Udupi holds significant importance as a pilgrimage destination in South India, drawing thousands of devotees who come to pay homage to Lord Krishna. Renowned for its exquisite idol of Lord Krishna, depicted as a youthful figure, the temple is famed for its beauty. Devotees catch glimpses of the idol through a unique nine-holed window known as the Navagraha Kitiki. Udupi is often likened to the South Indian counterpart of Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Sri Krishna in Uttar Pradesh.

Established during the 13th century by the revered Vaishnava Saint Sri Madhwacharya, both the Udupi Sri Krishna Temple and the Matha (Monastery) hold significant historical and spiritual.

Highlights of Udupi Sri Krishna Temple

Kanakana Kindi: A small window through which Lord Krishna is believed to have given darshan to his ardent devotee, saint Kanakadasa. According to legend, Kanakadasa was of a low caste and was not allowed entry to the temple. Undaunted, he went behind the temple and prayed to the Lord through a small crack in the wall. Pleased, the statue of Lord Krishna turned around and gave him darshan. Just adjacent is the Kanakadasa Mantapa, which houses a statue of the saint.
Golden Chariot of the temple can be seen by visitors.
Udupi Paryaya Utsava is a popular festival celebrated once in two years. Paryaya Utsava marks hand over of temple management from one Matha to another, among Udupi’s 8 Mathas.
