Allow me to begin with a warm and hearty welcome to the magnificent temple town of Udupi, the abode of the Krishna Math. Among the many palaces and monuments this wonderful temple is the most important temple of the world and is devoted to the saint Madhvacharya of the 13 centuries and the corner stone of the Dvaita Vedanta philosophy. Located in Udupi city, Karnataka, the math holds a statue of Lord Krishna which is worshipped from behind a perforated window called the Kanakana Kindi.

Devotees and people of religion visit this places to see the uncommon Paryaya festivity which happens every two years and the administration of the math takes over to any of the Ashta Mathas.
