SAINATH DEVADIGA

There are many popular legends regarding Lord Krishna's revelation to saint Kanaka Dasa. We can unravel the mystery of this episode on the basis of the available historical documents. Kanaka Dasa came to Udupi as a pilgrim to Have darshan with his Devotion to Istadevaru Lord Sri krisha. Sri Vadiraja Tirtha knew about this pious devotee of the Lord, and made arrangements for his stay in a hut in the roadside in front of the temple. Kanaka Dasa used to play on his tambura and sing in the hut, but the wall of the temple was there between the icon and himself. Being of a lower caste, by tradition he was forbidden to enter the temple and have darshana of Sri Krishna. The wall of the shrine was, of course, a barrier to the physical eyes, but who could prevent the vision of his inner eyes? They were fully open and the Sri Krishna was visible to Kanaka Dasa. Some time passed and then one night when kanakadasa willingness and desire to have Darshan of Lord Sri krishna there was an earthquake from gods grace and a small crack appeared in the wall of the shrine then Lord Krishna turned from east to west to give darshana to Great saint Sri Kanakadasa (Remember every Hindu temple gods is east faced, Lord Krishna himself turned towards west to appease Sri Kanakadasa) . Through this crack Kanaka Dasa was able to have darshana of the icon of Krishna. Sri Vadiraja Tirtha became aware of this crack and of the fact that Kanaka Dasa was using it to have darshana of Sri Krishna. Instead of having the crack plastered over, Sri Vadiraja enlarged it and turned it into a window. To commemorate Lord Krishna's darshana to Kanaka Dasa, the window has been designated as KANAKANA KINDI (Kanaka's window). (This Article copied from wikipedia)

This is one of the window of Sri Krishna temple. But this is named after famous Kannada saint Kanaka Dasa. When Kanaka dasa was not allowed inside the temple he prayed Krishna from this window and Krishna has turned towards the window. With very rich in history, the pilgrims take krishna krishna darshana from this kindi (window).
