Sri Krishna of Udupi

 
Udupi SriKrishna
 



Udupi Sri Krishna Matha is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to god Krishna located in the town of Udupi in Karnataka, India.Thousands of pious devotees throng the Udupi Krishna temple all round the year to catch a glimpse of Lord Krishna.The Krishna Matha was founded by the Vaishnavite saint Shri Madhwacharya in the 13th century. It is believed that Madhwacharya found the idol of SriKrishna in a large ball of gopichandana.



                      The unique feature of Shree Krishna Mutt temple is that the Lord is worshipped only through a window with nine holes called the Navagraha Kitiki. The window is exquisitely carved and silver - plated. It has been a tradition in this temple to worship the Lord only through this window.Once Kanakadasa, a pious worshiper and devotee of Lord Krishna, was not allowed entry into the temple. It didn't upset him; instead it made him pray with intense devotion.Lord Krishna was so pleased that the statue turned back to where Kanakadasa was praying, and the wall before Kanakadasa broke up to allow the disciple to gaze upon his heavenly form at the back of the mutt (monastery). Till today, devotees still worship Lord Krishna by praying through the same window where kanakadasa was seeing the offerings/Pooja from outside.It is known as Kanakanakhindi.
