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.

Sri Krishna Jayanthi / Janmashtami Greetings to all. Though for a majority of India, its a month late, some parts of India, that goes by solar calendar,  is celebrating Sri Krishna Janmashtami on 8th September 2012.  In Manipal, the city where I am living currently is also celebrating this festival in a grand manner this week along with its twin city, the Temple Town,  Udupi. Udupi is known world over for the  Temple of Lord Krishna. As the entire region  is busy along with Udupi  for the celebrations of  birth day of Lord Krishna on the 8th/9th September, I visited  the temple, on the eve of the festival.

The filter coffee is made using an instrument called the coffee filter. The filter brews coffee into a fine dicoction. The coffee filter is made of two cups:(upper one fits onto the lower one.) 1. Upper cup is like a filter(with pierced base) for filtering out the brewed coffee. The upper cup usually comes with a lid and 2. Bottom cup to collect the decoction(brewed coffee) Today i will show you how to make Indian filter coffee. I have used a tradit
