You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Udupi Shri Krishna Temple''' is a well-known historic [[Hindu]] temple dedicated to [[Krishna]] and [[Dvaita]] Matha located in the city of [[Udupi]] in [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. The Matha area resembles a living [[Ashram|Aashram]], a holy place for daily devotion and living. Surrounding the Shri Krishna Temple are several temples namely the [[Udupi Anantheshwara Temple]] which is over a thousand years old.<ref>((cite book|title=South India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8KnLFpjEHpUC&q=udupi+krishna+temple&pg=PA270|publisher=Lonely Planet|year=2009|isbn = 9781741791556))</ref>

==History==
[[File:Decorated chariot, Udupi, India.jpg|thumb|[[Ratha|Chariot]] in front of the Sri Krishna Temple]]
The Krishna Matha was founded by the [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnavite]] saint [[Madhvacharya]] in the 13th century. He was the founder of the [[Dvaita Vedanta|Dvaita]] school of Vedanta. It is believed that Madhvacharya found the [[Murti|vigraha]] of Krishna in a large ball of ''gopichandana''.<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fdEkDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT41|title=Karnataka's Rich Heritage – Temple Sculptures & Dancing Apsaras: An Amalgam of Hindu Mythology, Natyasastra and Silpasastra|author=Lalit Chugh|date=23 May 2017|publisher=Notion Press|page=41|isbn=9781947137363|access-date=23 May 2017))</ref> As told by Madhvacharya in his ''Tantrasara Sangraha'', the Vigraha is placed Pashchimabhimukha (facing west). All the other Vigrahas in other Ashta Muthas face west as well. Devotees always have darshan of Krishna through the inner window, known as the Navagraha Kindi and the outer window known as the [[Kanakana kindi|Kanakana Kindi]], which is decorated by an arch named after the saint Kanakadasa. A statue has also been erected. A similar window covers the immediate front of the Vigraha and is called Navagraha Kindi. It is often mistaken to be the Kanakana Kindi.<ref>((cite book|title=A Prehistory of Hinduism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0ZJdDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA120|author=Manu V. Devadevan|date = 10 October 2016|publisher=Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG|page=120|isbn = 9783110517378|access-date=10 October 2016))</ref>

The temple opens at 5:30 hours IST. The unique feature of the temple is that the deity is worshipped through a silver-plated window with nine holes (Navagraha Kindi).<ref>((cite book|title=Karnataka State: Udupi District|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LGiex76a5-kC|author=S. Anees Siraj|publisher=Government of Karnataka, Karnataka Gazetteer Department|page=999|year=2012))</ref> The temple also offers [[prasada]] at noon and is popularly called ''Anna Brahma'' as it feeds a vast number of devotees.

==Krishna Matha==
The daily [[Selfless service|sevas]] (offerings to god) and administration of the Krishna Mathas is managed by the [[Ashta Mathas of Udupi|Ashta Mathas]] (eight monasteries). Each of the Ashta Mathas performs temple management activities for two years in a cyclical order. They are collectively known as the 'Ashta Mathagalu' in [[Kannada]]. Each Ashta Matha has its own deity which is called ''Pattada Devaru.''

The Krishna Matha is known for its religious customs, traditions and tenets of [[Dvaita]] or Tatvavada philosophy. It is also the center of Daasa Saahitya, a form of literature that originated in Udupi.

These eight Mathas are:

* [[Palimaru Matha]],
* [[Adamaru|Admaru Matha]],
* [[Krishnapura matha|Krishnapura Matha]]
* [[Puttige Matha|Puttige]],
* [[Shiroor Math|Shirur Matha]] 
* [[Sodhe Matha]],
* [[Kaniyuru|Kaniyoor Matha]],
* [[Pejawara Matha|Pejavara]],




The expenses of Udupi Krishna Matha are borne by the voluntary contributions of the devotees and by the Ashta Mathas that manage the Krishna Matha. The contribution may be in cash or kind. The Krishna Matha, which owned large tracts of land, lost it all in 1975 due to the enactment of the Land Reforms Act 1975 by the Government of Karnataka.

The Pauli of Krishna Matha was renovated and the Brahmakalashotsava ceremony was held on 18 May 2017.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.udayavani.com/english/news/udupi-kundapur/212663/brahmakalashotva-celebrations-held-sri-krishna-mutt|title=Brahmakalashotva celebrations held at Sri Krishna Mutt|work=udayavani.com|access-date=27 May 2017))</ref>
