Udupi, in the south-west part of Karnataka, is the headquarters of the Udupi district. The city is popular along the western coast, located 58 km to the north of Mangalore and 422 km to the north-west of Bangalore. The main languages spoken in Udupi are Tulu, Kannada, and Konkani.
The name Udupi may have been derived from the Tulu name for this city, which is Odipu. There is yet another version which says the name Udupi came by combining the Sanskrit words Udu and Pa, meaning ‘stars’ and ‘lord’. Going by this story, Udupi means the ‘Lord of the Stars’.
Udupi is renowned for its Sri Krishna Temple and attracts a lot of pilgrims and devotees from all around the world. The eight ‘maths’ in Udupi take turn in managing the temple every 2 years. This process of transferring the administration to a different math is celebrated in a grand manner and is called Paryaya which attracts thousands of tourists.
The city is also famous for its cuisine. The chain of Udupi restaurants are found throughout the country. They mainly excel in South Indian delectables.
The poverty rate in Udupi is very low compared to other places in Karnataka. The per capita income of people living here is also high causing progress in terms of infrastructure and real estate development.
