Katapadi[ Originally called as Bandhanapura ] is a village near Udupi in Karnataka, India. It is situated at the junction of National Highway 66 and the roads leading to Mattu and Shankarapura. Katapadi is surrounded by lush green fields, rivers and a beautiful beach. Katapadi is well known for Mattu Gulla (a type of eggplant), Kambala and jasmine (mallige in Tulu). The name Katapadi is derived from "Kattu paadi" which means "tie it down" in Tulu. Apparently the place is named Katapadi after a lost horse which was found and tied down here.
