Overview
Udupi is a coastal town and district headquarters in Karnataka, known for the Sri Krishna Matha founded in the 13th century by the Vaishnava saint Madhvacharya. Madhvacharya also established the eight Ashta Mathas to propagate Dvaita Vedanta, and these mathas take turns administering the temple under the biennial Paryaya system.
