During our trip to Udupi, we got a wonderful opportunity to visit the famous Shree Krishna Mutt 🙏. Before reaching our stay at White Noise Beach House near Kodi Bengare, we decided to visit the Krishna Temple early in the morning.
We started our journey from Bengaluru on Thursday late night. With multiple breaks along the way, we reached Udupi by around 8:00 AM.
The distance from Bengaluru to Udupi is approximately 400 km, and it usually takes 8–9 hours by road 🚘.
One good thing about visiting this temple is that there are many hotels and lodges near the temple where devotees can freshen up. We booked a room for 2 hours, which was just enough time to relax, freshen up, and have a quick breakfast ☕🍽️ before heading for darshan.
By the time we reached the temple, the crowd had just started building. Luckily, we managed to complete the darshan within one hour, which felt smooth and peaceful 😊. The atmosphere inside the temple was calm and spiritually uplifting.
The Udupi Shree Krishna Temple was established in the 13th century by Sri Madhvacharya, a great saint and philosopher. The temple is famous for the Kanakana Kindi, a small window through which devotees view Lord Krishna. This tradition symbolizes devotion, equality, and humility 🌼.
The best time to visit the temple is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant. Early mornings are ideal to avoid heavy crowds.
