Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Suvarna Teertha Mantapa, located in front of the Krishna sanctum, and dedicated the Kanaka Kavacha (golden cover) for the sacred Kanakana Kindi-a window through which the saint Kanakadasa is believed to have had a divine darshan of Bhagwan Krishna. Sri Krishna Matha in Udupi was established over 800 years ago by Sri Madhvacharya, the founder of the Dvaita Vedanta philosophy.
