Udupi Sri Krishna temple is an important pilgrimage centre in Dakshin Kannada region and is very famous like the Guruvayoor temple of Kerala. Here one would see beautifully decked up Krishna's idol here, with a churner in one hand and a rope in the other. Devotees worship God here , through a window . As per the legend, it is believed that the Lord here turned to the opposite direction to give darshan to an ardent devotee, named Kanakadasa who was denied entry into the temple. The main door of the sanctum remains closed here, as the worship is only through the window.The window is known as Kanakadasa window.
Photography is banned inside the temple.
The temple is situated right inside the town and it provides free meals to the devotees here everyday.
