Kundapura Kodi Krishna Ganiga is one of the finest Yakshagana artistes who have given a different approach to certain characters of the art due to their own intelligent interpretation and study of the character.
The speciality is that Kodi Krishna Ganiga, who is called as Kodi Kushta Ganiga, though not known to the Yakshagana lovers of the present time, had created waves in the 1970s and 80s. The name earned by him still lives in the memories of Yakshagana lovers of yesteryear.
