Udupi Krishna Temple is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna located in the town of Udupi in Karnataka, India. The temple area resembles a living ashram, a holy place for daily devotion and living, dedicated to one of India's many reincarnated saints. Legend has it that once a Dalit (untouchable) worshipper whom was not allowed into the temple was so piously dedicated, that one day the Krishna statue miraculously turned around to allow the disciple to gaze upon his heavenly form through a small window at the back of the mutt (matha). There are several temples here, the most ancient as basic wood and stone of 1,500 years origin. See Udupi for more.
The main deity, Lord Krishna
