Title:

Udipi [Udupi], South Kanara District. Krishna Temple, exterior view of the temple and courtyard. Photographer: Archaeological Survey of India

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

General view of west wall, showing painting on exterior wall: '...situated in a market place in the centre of Udipi town and is the most famous place of pilgrimage in the district...like most temples in this part of the country which are private property and in daily use, there is a painfully modern appearance about it and very little of architectural interest. The central shrine is a small square building in the usual West Coast style standing in a small stone-paved courtyard surrounded by a group of lofty modern buildings arranged in the form of a quadrangle with an entrance on the east side. The exterior walls of this quadrangle are plastered and whitewashed and decorated with a series of crude modern paintings depicting Vaishnava deities and symbols and on the west side facing the main road is a little mandapa consisting of four monolithic pillars supporting a flat stone roof crowned with a brick and plaster stupi decorated with Vaishnava stucco figures' (Alexander Rea, Annual Report of the Archaeological Department, Southern Circle, Madras, for the year 1920-1921 (Madras, 1921), p. 24).
