1 Kanakadasa was a celebrated poet and a saintly philosopher from Karnataka. He was popularly known as a Haridasa which literally means servant of Hari (Krishna).
2 His real name was Thimmappa Nayaka and was born in the Baada village to the couple Biregowda and Bachchamma. He provided his huge contribution to the Carnatic music.
3 Known for his Kirtans and Ugabhoga, Kanakadasa devoted his life to composing music and literature with philosophy, which he explained in the simple Kannada language.
4 It is believed that he spent his later part of his life in Tirupati. However, he was closely associated with Udupi as he was the follower of Vyasaraya Swamiji.
5 On his request, Kanakadasa once visited the Shri Vadiraja Teertha in Udipi to attend the divine intervention. Originally, the idol of Lord Krishna in this temple used to face east.
6 Since Kanakadasa belonged to a lower caste, the Acharyas and Brahmin temple priests would not let him in. He felt really hurt by this ill treatment.
7 He went behind the temple and sang devotional songs requesting Lord Krishna to open the door for him. To everyone’s surprise, the deity in the sanctum turned around (facing west).
8 The back wall of the temple miraculously fell off through which Kanakadasa could get a glimpse of the deity. Later, in his memory, commonly called as Kanakana Kindi - Kanaka’s window was made at this opening.
9 As a tribute to Kanakadasa, a small shrine was built in this temple which is known as Kanakana Kindi or Kanakana Mandira.
