Kallianpur (previously anglicised as Calliampore) is a hamlet of Tonse East village about six km from Udupi.

Kallianpur is situated on the southern bank of the river Swarna and is about four km east of the Arabian Sea coast.

The idol of the presiding deity, Lord Krishna, was recovered from the river Swarna which flows near the temple.

Gowda Saraswat Brahmins (GSB) form the main community here with Konkani as their mother tongue.

Dr. T.M.A Pai, an eminent educationalist, philanthropist and the founder of Manipal hailed from this village.-people still with surname "Kallianpur" in front of their first name are the remnants of a great generation of forefathers.

At Uppoor, an adjacent village, there is a shrine of Ganesha built in the Vijayanagara style; its image is exquisitely carved.

Built about the same time as the Milagres church, Mangalore, it was founded according to the treaty between the Portuguese and Queen Keladi Chennamma of Bednore who ruled over Canara from 1671 to 1697.
