Located about 13 km from Sri Krishna Temple, Pajaka is another one of the must-visit places in Udupi. This small village has gained popularity for being the birthplace of Sri Madhvacharya, the founder of Sri Krishna Temple. Some notable attractions here are the well-preserved house of the saint, an impression of his feet close to the house, a banyan tree believed to have been planted by him and a vidyapeeth where children learn Sanskrit and the Vedas.
