A small Market in Udupi,Karnataka ,India





Recently during my vacations, I visited this beautiful Temple city Udupi, situated on the coast of western ghats. This place is famous for its Sri Krishna Temple. In this temple we can see a small and beautiful idol of Lord Krishna adorned with lot of jewels.

One more interesting thing about this place is the delicious vegetarian food. Popular traditional vegetarian food like Dosa and Idly are originated from this place. During one of my later blogs, I will post how to make them-both Idly( steam tasty dumpling with rice and lentil) and Dosa( a kind of crapes).

In a mean while I captured beautiful market images in and around Sri Krishna temple.
