Iskon Temple
Approximately 60 kms.
from Mangalore is the Vaishnavite pilgrimage town of Udupi. This
was the sanctum of Madhavacharya, the great Sanskrit
philosopher. It is as much renowned for its chefs, cuisine and
restaurants as it is for its Krishna Temple and various mutts.
The main attraction at this temple is the ‘Kanakana Kindi’ - a
small window through which Krishna is believed to have given
darshan to his ardent devotee, Kanakadasa, a saint-minstrel. The
colourful Paryaya festival, when officiating priests hand over
their responsibilities to other pontiffs beckons thousands of
devotees from all over the country every alternate year.
