Another day of visit to Temples:
1, Sri AnathaPadmanabha Swamy Temple, Perduru.
Perduru is about 30 km from Udupi via Manipal, Hiriadaka.
Nalini's sister Sujatha had a harake (Seve) of sibli banana (ಸಿಬ್ಲಿ ಬಾಳೆಹಣ್ಣು ). A small basket of banana was purchased to Lord Sri AnathaPadmanabha and arthi was performed.
Perduru Sri Ananthapadmanabha Swamy Temple is ancient with more than 1000 years. The temple is famous for devotees offering 1001 bananas to the Deity when their wishes are fulfilled. The festival in the Month of March attracts thousands of devotees.
There is a Pushkarini (water tank) surrounded by steps on all sides, attached to the temple.
After a short visit, we left the place.
2. Sri JayaDurga Parameshwari Temple, Kannarpady.
Kannarpady Temple, located just 5 km from Udupi, situated near National Highway 66, is a rare temple because it is dedicated to JayaDurga form of Mother Goddess Shakthi.
The shrine is believed to be more than 5000 years old. The architecture is similar to Coastal Karnataka Temples.

The idol of Goddess JayaDurga is two-armed and she is in a benign form. Her hands are in blessing posture. Her vahana, Lion can be seen in fromt of Murthi. The sacred pond in the temple premises is known as Kanwa Pushkarini.
After the Darshan of the Deity, we had prasada oota at the temple premises. As it is Navaratri Festival, thousands of people were there for oota, and we found some place in the premises had good oota.
3. PaduGaradi Devi Temple -
