Sarovara
Adjacent to the main corridor through which the pilgrims enter the Udipi Krishna temple, there is the holy tank called Madvasarorava ( Madhava Pushkarani).The tank has stone steps all round and a mandapam in the centre. Deities of Sri Krishnapur,Puttige and Kaniyoor mutts are worshipped here on the evening of Utthana Dwadasi. During Rathotsava nights Teppotsava take place in this tank. In the southwest corner of the tank is a shrine dedicated to Bhaagiirathi ( Ganga ) seated on a crocodile. It is believed that Ganges water flows in to this tank once in 12 years. For daily abhisheka of Sri Krishna water from this tank is used. The Swamijis have to bathe in this tank before they commence the worship at the shrine. Sri Raghavendra Tirtha Swamiji of Puttige Math had renovated the pond in the 16th Century.
Ganga
The tank was originally known as Anantha Theertha, but after the Ganga descended into this tank for the sake of Madhvacharya, it came to be designated as Madhvasarovara .At the South-West corner of the pond lies an idol of Bhagirathi seated on crocodile. The idol was installed by the 29th swamiji of Admar Math Sri Vibudhapriya Tirtha.
