Parents loved the udupi atmosphere and want to do a repeat visit tommorow! Volunteers do a great job of coordinating and serving food to all. Wish the location was in a slightly better place along with good parking options.

This is a Kannad (Indian) place. Although understanding pujan is difficult. But it is a good place to worship. Make sure to have Prasad after the puja, the food is so tasty here. Anyone can plan a visit, there is no fee.

Really love the temple mainly because of the preists and prasadam. they have fixed schedule in the evenings like bhajans, chanting purushasukta,vishnu sahasranama etc., Religious mood is there always and the temple makes sure that everyone can participate in the service of the lord.

The temple is very nice with South Indian feel. A good place to meditate if you go early morning when there are less people. The place gets crowded at night. You would have to park your car in the street which is limited so plan your visit. At night around 19:45-20:00 they serve delicious food. :) You can also volunteer there and help with the cleaning afterwards, if interested.

Amazing Place to be .Well maintained . Very welcoming .Amazing food (great service to the community )You must visit this place (in downtown SJ ) . Parking can take 10-15mins as street parking needs some tag .Plan to reach there by 12:15 in the noon

This is the best temple foundation in whole USA I believe they have great ethics and trying to maintain Hindu culture and tradition without hurting anyone beliefs. The best part is the prasadham which they everyday after the Pooja in the evenings and on weekends both in afternoon and evening at 8.00 pm. They make you sit down on the floor as indian tradition and serve 6 course meal which gives a nostalgic of Karnataka food. I visit all the way from Sacramento every weekend to be part of their tradition either while singing songs or doing bhajans. I highly recommend everyone to visit temple during evening Pooja and experience the Kannada folk songs.

We got there about 7:30pm, and the pooja was half over, we were invited by the devotees to join them inside and told us they will serve food after one hour. We went inside and sat on the bench listening to the priests chanting. We left before they could finish. Its was nice

The place where you can feel peaceful and spiritual.You can visit the temple website to check the poojas performed throughout the week.If you reach around 7pm, you can get to see the pooja and hear all the mantras, bhajans/songs. Around 8pm they serve prasada (food) which is delicious.If you are interested you can do some seva by cleaning the dinner area and washing vessels in the kitchen but none force you to do that. Its upto you.Parking space is available.You will find many kannada speaking people.I would recommend to visit this place.

Review №43

This is a Krishna temple, built as a branch of the Puttige Mutt from Udupi. The ceremonies here are followed as per the udupi Shri Krishna Temple. So it is the go to place for people from Udupi who have this temple as their Kuladevru. Very difficult to get parking here, since Sunol has zero street parking. We can park across the road in The Alameda, in a public parking spot, or in CVS pharmacy. The temple itself is super-quite, and the only sound you will hear is from the temple pooja itself. Great place for a visit.

Review №65

Its a pure privilege to have puttige mutta in San Jose. This place serves typical udupi style, south Indian banana leaf style dinner (on paper plates here) every evening except of course on ekadashi days. They perform daily puje with utmost dedication. We usually like to arrive between 7-7:45pm and witness the puje and arathi and then enjoy the prasada at 8pm(served on all days except ekadashi). Though I must say, the temple is a pleasure to visit all through out the daily open hours. Its also the place to go for us brahmins when we need temples services for auspicious occasions. The priests here are well versed in Vedas, upanishads and other Hindu traditions. Extremely spiritual, pious atmosphere. We are very grateful for this Temple. Thank you Lord Krishna

Review №67

Food was good but food services were disappointing. They finished the entire Satyanarayana Pooja in 45 minutes inspite of starting late. Served food in 9” plate and water in flimsy 3 oz cups. You could barely lift the cups because they would crumple. If you are sitting on the floor and imagine eating out of a 9” plate, where the volunteer was rushing to serve Payasam right on sambar rice. They splattered water on the floor, food items in the plate. Lack of human decency in the abode of god.
