    Sri Krishna Janmashtami of Sri Krishna temple, Udupi (its not mutt) has a special place in the life of Udupites. We used to enjoy the Vittla pindi and enormous veshadharis. Its good for our eyes and people of all caste and creed used to participate in this event and used to enjoy and on returning home we used to enact the veshadharis acts and dialogues. We miss it a lot. My best wishes to my dear Hindu brothers and sisters of Udupi. May Lord bless them all..
