Prime Minister Narendra Modi will receive a traditional welcome at Udupi Sri Krishna Math during his Friday visit.
He will then participate in the remarkable ‘Laksha Kantha Gita’ mass-chanting programme featuring unified recitation by thousands.
Temple authorities will give the Prime Minister a traditional welcome when he arrives at the temple on Friday morning.
PM Modi will visit Madhwa Sarovara for darshan of the deity and then perform a solemn special puja. He will then reach the venue where over one lakh devotees together recite the sacred Bhagavad Gita shlokas.
He further stated, the Prime Minister will unveil the ‘Kanaka Kavacha’ (golden covering) for the divine ‘Kanakana Kindi.’
The Udupi Kanakana Kindi legend recalls sixteenth-century poet Kanakadasa being denied temple entry due to caste.
Praying outside, his profound devotion made the Krishna idol miraculously turn around to bless him directly today.
Seer Sugunendra Tirtha Swami said, “The mutt will offer Suwarna Thirta Mantapa to the deity through PM Narendra Modi. The Prime Minister is slated to visit Sarvagnya Peeta, the goshala, and the new Gita Mandira. He will interact with all seers of the Ashta Mutts in the Chandrashale and receive their blessings. He has expressed a desire to sample a small quantity of Udupi special dishes, including ‘patrode’.”
The seer said devotees will begin reciting the Bhagavad Gita shlokas at 9 AM. When the Prime Minister arrives, devotees will recite Chapter Fifteen verses followed by the final chapter’s concluding ten.
An official statement said: “The sacred temple town of Udupi in the coastal region is preparing to witness an extraordinary spiritual and cultural moment on November 28, 2025. India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, will arrive at the historic Udupi Sri Krishna Math and later take part in the ‘Laksha Kantha Gita’ grand programme, where one lakh people will chant verses from the Bhagavad Gita in unison.”
This visit blends devotion, tradition and public participation, reflecting India’s timeless civilisation and the Gita’s enduring spiritual message.
Inside the ancient Sri Krishna temple sanctum, Prime Minister Modi will offer special prayers and receive blessed darshan.
After visiting the temple, Prime Minister Modi will join the Gita chanting event with one lakh participants present. He will then address the gathering after the collective recitation resonates across the venue with profound devotional energy.
“Paryaya Puttige Math seer Sugunendra Teertha Swamiji, continuing the tradition of Madhvacharya, has declared his historic fourth Paryaya the ‘Vishwa Gita Paryaya’ and has launched several significant initiatives that have drawn global participation from devotees. These include — ‘Akhanda Udayastamana Gita Parayana’ — continuous chanting of the Gita from sunrise to sunset for two years; and ‘Koti Gita Lekhana Yajna’ — a massive initiative where devotees from around the world learn, write and dedicate verses of the Gita to the lotus feet of Lord Krishna,” the statement said.
“As part of this tradition, the Laksha Kantha Gita Parayana programme has been grandly organised by Paryaya Puttige Sri Krishna Math. This mega event aims to inspire society to follow the ideals of dharma, compassion and courage as taught in the Gita, while also standing as a powerful symbol of India’s unity and collective devotion. Devotees are eagerly looking forward to witnessing the Gita chanting and catching a glimpse of the Prime Minister,” the release added.
On Friday, from eight to three, public entry to Sri Krishna Math will remain restricted for management reasons.
The administration has requested devotees to cooperate fully with revised darshan timings and follow the updated schedule.
