I'm a solo traveller exploring Karnataka, going to Udupi, would like to meet some locals and get to know about Udupi, thanks.

I’m throwing a birthday party for around 12 people. We’re planning to make chicken biryani + bread halwa and trying to keep the budget as low as possible.

Planning to buy:

Chicken Biryani

- 4 kg chicken

- 2 kg large onions

- 1 kg tomatoes

- 2 kg rice

- 500 ml oil

- 350 g ginger-garlic paste

- Green chilli – ₹10

- 1 lemon

- 1 L curd

- 200 g biryani masala

- 100 g red chilli powder

- 100 g garam masala

- 1 bunch pudina + coriander

Bread Halwa

- 2 packets bread

- 200 g Milkmaid

- ½ L milk

- ½ kg sugar

- Cashews

- Dry grapes/raisins

Any recommendations in Udupi for where I can get these groceries and 4 kg chicken at the cheapest/reasonable prices?

Looking for wholesale/market-type shops rather than expensive supermarkets. Thanks! 🙏

I'm in murudeshwar and will leave for udupi tomorrow morning, 10 am ish.

Staying near the temple and want to know where do I catch the bus from, and are there recurring buses?

**The Charyapada,** a collection of mystical poems and songs rediscovered in royal library of Nepal in 1907, is commonly accepted to have been composed and compiled between 8th and 12th centuries CE by 23 Siddhacharyas (tantric masters) of Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism from the tantric traditions of Odisha, Assam, Bengal and Bihar.

This verse (from [Charyapada Verse 10](https://youtu.be/gTk86O3qiaw?si=ykbh7SaLRB6dXJ9D)), composed by Kānhapāda(Kānhuipā), is a cornerstone of Eastern Indo-Aryan languages. It serves as a "linguistic blueprint", demonstrating the common *Abahatta* (Apabhramsha) roots that evolved into modern Odia, Assamese, Bangla, Maithili, Magahi and other East Indo-Aryan languages.

Especially for Odia and Bangla speakers, the striking resemblance is unmistakable. The syntax and vocabulary have remained remarkably intact for over a thousand years.

Recently I get to know most of so called Udupi hotels especially in Maharashtra's Pune and Mumbai are running by Non Natives

And genuinely most of chiefs of those hotels doesn't even know to cook normal South Indian dishes

Udupi, Kundapura and other cuisine are far away thing

Chiefs couldn't even make a coconut chutney properly in 1 Udupi hotel at Mumbai like seriously it tastes something like alien stuff

And also chief doesn't even have any contact of any South Indian or doesn't have proper knowledge how to atleast cook Southern Indian cuisine properly

And due to these hotels surely name of Udupi gonna be spoiled

And also I remember there was 1 Udupi hotel near Shirur taluka of Pune where they literally wrote wrong spelling of Udupi and wrote it as "Udipi"

I hope someone raises voice and look after this thing

Hi, I’m 24M from Kerala. I moved here for work 5 days ago and I’m staying in Udupi.

I don’t have any friends here and don’t know Udupi/Manipal well.

This is my first weekend. Anyone up for a hangout to explore?

Anybody?

I don't wanna take auto and get charged like 250 so what bus should I take to reach Machali (near Brahmagiri circle)? I know how to get the Manipal to Udupi local bus but which bus to take next from there?

Tight, very short shorts, colorful banyan, sports shoes, long mullet, bald forehead, walking on the streets, yeah that guy.... who is he?
