Good News: Devotees Can Get a Clear View of Suvarna Gopura at Udupi Krishna Mutt Through Lift Facility

October 16: The Suvarna Gopura over the sanctum of Sri krishna mutt at Udupi was constructed at a cost of ₹ 40 crore and dedicated by Vidyadheesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Palimar Mutt in June this year.
Even after the three months it is difficult for devotees to see the Suvarna Gopura.
The seer Vidyadheesha Tirtha has thus decided to get a lift facility constructed up to the Suvarna Gopura after consulting the seers of the other Ashta Mutts before taking up work on the lift facility. It will be a two-storeyed structure including a staircase. The work on the lift facility has already been started about a week ago.
Administrative Officer of the Temple Prahlad P.R. said that there were two store rooms where utensils were kept at Ola Kottara, located close to Madhwa Sarovar. This was the only suitable place available for the construction of the lift facility, hence, this place was chosen for it. He also  mentioned that the construction work is expected to be completed by December 15.
The lift will accommodate 10 persons at once.  The senior citizens and others who find it difficult to climb up the stairs can use the lift. After seeing the Suvarna Gopura on the second floor, the devotees could either go towards the Bhojana Shale (dining hall) or go to the exit of the temple.
Along with the lift facility, a changing room for women devotees is also being constructed near the Madhwa Sarovar. The women can use the changing room after they have a dip at the Madhwa Sarovar.
