Shri Laxmi Venkatesha Temple, Udupi, Karnataka India

India is known as land of temple and Udupi is famous as city of temples.  It is said that, Indian is a born philosopher. SRI LAXMIVENKATESH TEMPLE is situated 130 Kms. from our Gurumat towards south beside NH-17 and from Udupi 5 Kms towards north. It is because of this attitudinal inherence the Gowda Saraswats on their exodus from Goa constructed Temples wherever they settled. This was to meet the cultural, social and spiritual needs independently. The settlers in and around Udupi, thus were compelled, being anxious and enthusiastic to construct a temple at Udupi. As if by God's grace at this juncture the gift of land by late Smt. Kaveri Amma alias Sathyabhama Amma (Sridevi Nayak) through an endowment deed on 11.7.1883 was of great avail. By the gift it was intended that Pooja (scriptural form of worship) to her family Deity "Sri Narasimha" be performed on  installation at the proposed temple along with the temple Deity. For this purpose she gifted two sets of properties to meet the expenses of Poojas to "Sri Narasimha" and the temple Deity separately.
