Katipalla

Katipalla

Katipalla is small town, 5 km from Surathkal in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka state, India.

Overview

Many residents of this place were rehabilitated from Panambur, after the New Mangalore Port Trust ( NMPT )."Katipalla" in local Tulu language literally means wild stream.'Kati' means wild, 'palla' means stream. A stream originates from this place and flows downtoward towards the Krishnapura Matha and further down joining other streams. Before rehabilitation during 1970's, the area was covered with forest infested with wild animals like tiger, hyna, fox etc. Perhaps name of this place may have derived because the wild animals used this water stream to quench their thirst. Most of the land before acquired by government belonged to Krishnapura Matha. Krishnapura Matha is one of Ashta Mathas of Udupi founded by Dvaita philosopher Sri Madhvacharya. Some of the area (blocks) of Katipalla are even today known as Krishnapura, especially those which are near to Krishnapura matha. The Krishnapura Matha has a Mukhyaprana ( Maruti or Hanuman ) temple inside. The structure of the Matha is supported by wood pillars. The Matha has exquisite wooden carving which is worth seeing. The Mangalore petroleum refinery (MRPL)and BASF plant is also near by.
