The Sri Krishna Math temple in Udupi celebrates Krishna Janmashtami in magnificent style. The idol of Krishna in the temple was allegedly found by Saint Madhwacharya on a ship in the 13th century, and it was afterwards positioned here facing west. This ashram-style temple comes alive with cultural performances, Leelotsav, and numerous plays that portray Krishna's life during Janmashtami. One of the distinctive features of this place is the artistically carved window known as Navagraha Kitiki, where worshipers worship Lord Krishna. You can also attend Huli Vesha and Vittal Pindi (Rass Leela) in addition to this (tiger dance). Udupi also has sizable processions in which Gopuras are built beneath the chariot. On the gopuras are strung earthen jars with curd in them.
