Udupi: Sri Krishna

The Krishna Matha was founded by the Vaishnavite saint Madhvacharya in the 13th century.As told by Madhvacharya in his Tantrasara Sangraha, the Vigraha was placed initially in the east direction. Due to intense devotion shown by kanakadasa, the deity is said to have turned Pashchimabhimukha (facing west). The daily sevas (offerings to god) and administration of the Krishna Mathas is managed by the Ashta Mathas (eight monasteries). Each of the Ashta Mathas performs temple management activities for two years in a cyclical order. Cancellation depicts the idol of Lord Krishna inside the temple.

 Cancellation was introduced on 23.01.1985.
