Udupi District

Udupi a land of ethereal beauty, sandwiched between the verdant mountains of the western ghats on the east and the vast, tranquil Arabian Sea on the west.

This new district, carved out of the erstwhile Dakshina Kannada, which was more aptly called "Parashurama Srishti", encapsulates the vast cultural heritage. Udupi, an important Teerthasthal (pilgrimage place) with its historical Krishna Temple is the cultural center of Karnataka.

The district, carved out of Dakshina Kannada district two years ago, has its own identity in the field of art and culture. The district is well endowed with surface and ground water facility necessary for irrigating the horticultural crops.
