  4. Peered in to admire the bright rainbow umbrella. 🌈 ☂️

    PS: A temple gate. The sign on the gate stands for the #Sanskrit word "swasthi" which means "well being". No other symbol is represented.

  7. A unique and beautiful interior balcony. Love the woodwork, the skylight, and the colors, but I wonder what that window opens to. 🪟

    Spotted today at Palimaru Matha #Udupi #India. Lucky to have gone inside while I waited out the rain.

    *Udupi Krishna always holds a churning stick in right hand, though it looks like he holds a staff because the stick's head (the churning end) is relatively small and is often obscured.

  18. Threshold symbols in #Udupi (and elsewhere) #India: simple and elaborate versions, both shown as they appear from inside a home. The triangular parts invite in Lakshmee, goddess of prosperity (to place her feet there). The vertical lines prohibit entry to evil.

  21. Had the best seat to view the entire 90 mins of the annual ritual bathing of the idols at Kaniyooru Matha #Udupi #India. I chose not to take my own pictures during the ritual so I can be there fully in the moment. I did take some pictures after 👇.

    The pictures here are from the matha, just to give an idea.

  27. I found this #painting today at Krishna Matha #Udupi. Someone (most likely the artist themselves) left it outside the Swamiji's room as their offering.

  30. Mandalas at the original site of Puthige Matha (near #Udupi #India). 🪷

    Witnessed a wonderful and intimate evening service. Then light refreshments made with devotion and love by students there. Warm conversations with everyone we met. Three hours well spent. 🙇‍♂️

  31. Got this just now at Krishna Matha #Udupi #India.

    Traditionally, this is an invitation from the paryaaya Swamiji to receive "prasaada" along with the main meal.

  32. RE: mastodon.social/@nityakrishna/

    A #blessed Monday evening in #Udupi:

    Entered Kaniyooru Matha just as the Swamiji was handing out flowers after the evening service: got two nice roses and two strings of the most fragrant jasmine. Also got a big ball of "prasaada" (they make only two balls). 🙇‍♂️

    Then saw this glorious presentation of Krishna. And ran into a friend who gave us some goodies he had set aside for us from the lunch menu. 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

  33. An electric fan in interesting colors bolted to a nearly 300-year old wooden ceiling (recently polished). Check out that handcrafted woodwork.

  34. My wife and I went to a "Yakshagaana" #play today in #Udupi #India. It was only the second play we've ever sat through fully (our first was just last week).

    I've so much to say about the experience but don't know where to begin, except say it was mind blowing and wish all #theater was this masterful.

    Came across this beautiful portrait yesterday in the halls of Adamaru Matha, #Udupi #India.

    The picture shows a presentation of the idol of Waradharaaja ("king among wish granters") consecrated in Kanchi, #Tamilnadu.

    PS: An interesting tidbit about that Kanchi temple 👇

  38. Happened on these cleaned pots and pans today at the "chauki" kitchen (where they prepare the offerings) in #Udupi Krishna Matha. Some of the pots, especially the copper ones, are decades old. 🍯

  39. RE: mastodon.social/@nityakrishna/

    Reached #Udupi #India yesterday, where I'm most content these days. A welcome breakfast from a local friend, then caught a "yakshagaana" play.

    Today saw this presentation of Krishna and had 1-1 with two swamijis. Also met many people who've accepted me as their own. Even picked up some goodies. ☺️😋

    Like I said, #content. 🙇‍♂️

  40. A super closeup of yoga narasimha of Kaniyooru Matha, Udupi. Not my picture.

    BTW presently only nine people in this world are allowed to even touch this idol. (There'll ever be at most 16 at any given time.) That's a truly exclusive and privileged group but also one with a lot of responsibility. #ama

  41. Today is International Yoga Day. Apropos, a picture of 800+ years old idol of "yoga narasimha" of Kaniyooru Matha, Udupi; the gold cladding is recent. The idol on its right is also yoga narasimha but a few decades newer. On the left is Krishna; age unknown but old.

    I love the detail of the crowns and other ornaments, as well as that of the silver arch behind the idols. And of course the elegance of the simple decoration.

    Picture from Jun. 8, 2026. **Not my picture.**
