Udupi Krishna Temple It is Krishna temple in Udupi, Karnataka. Legend of Temple: Once when Sri Madhwa was meditating near the Malpe beach (5 km from Udupi ), he saw a ship drifting away following a severe storm. He saved the ship by his yogic powers. As the swamiji knew beforehand that the ship carried the idols of Lord Krishna and Balarama, he accepted the Gopi Chandana pieces that the ship’s captain offered. He installed the Balarama idol in Vada Pandeshwara village near the shores and the Lord Krishna idol at Udupi near the Chandramouleeswara shrine. Travel: Road: Buses ply to Mysore (265 km), Bangalore via Hassan (365 km), Kollur (120 km), Sringeri (130 km), Karwar (215 km) Belur (155 km) and several other places.
