Udupi The Udupi Temple is one of the most popular temples in India. Don’t be distraught by the long lines as they actually move pretty quickly. Udupi Temple contains the statue of Lord Krishna (Udupi-Krishna). However, the door to the statue is not open, but enclosed by a gate.

The Krishna deity comes up quickly on the right, so worshippers should be on their toes. People are only allowed five to seven seconds to observe the idol, so be prepared in order to maximize viewing time. There is also a Ghosala (room of cows). People are allowed to feed and pet the cows there. The special food served at the Udupi Temple is very delicious. Please note that men should wear a traditional ‘Panche or dhoti’ instead of a pant and shirt in order to gain

  • The Pros And Cons Of The United Nations Charter

    1556 Words  | 7 Pages

    Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter states that, "all member states shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, nor in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations” .
