PM Modi Unveils Suvarna Teertha Mantapa, Kanaka Kavacha at Udupi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the Suvarna Teertha Mantapa and the Kanaka Kavacha at Sri Krishna Matha on Friday. Arriving at Ratha Beedi soon after the roadshow, Modi was greeted with a traditional welcome. 

Paryaya Puthige Math seer Sri Sugunendra Tirtha Swamiji welcomed the Prime Minister near the Kanaka Gopura. Modi offered a garland to the idol of Sri Kanakadasa, honouring the saint-poet whose devotion forms a permanent



part of Udupi’s spiritual heritage.

Modi then unveiled the newly installed Kanaka Kavacha, a golden covering placed over the iconic Kanakana Kindi, where Kanakadasa is believed to have glimpsed Lord Krishna. 

The Prime Minister then entered Sri Krishna Matha with folded hands, pausing for darshan at Sri Chennakeshava at the entrance. He then had the darshan of Udupi Sri Krishna through the Navagraha Kindi.
