The Udupi Krishna Matha in Karnataka is a very famous temple of Lord Krishna. It was founded by one of the greatest saints in the history of India- Sri Madhavacharya possibly in the 13th century. In the age-old streams of thoughts represented by Advaita(monism), Vishisht-advaita( qualified monism) and Dvaita (dualism) - Madhavacharya was the proponent of the last. His was a religion of pure bhakti.
The temple is very very crowded and we could not visit during the first day of our visit. The next day we went at dawn and had a wonderful visit. The light of the temple blended with the faint glow of dawn was wonderful to see.
