Moodbidri (Mūḍubidire; also called Mudbidri, Moodbidre and Bedra) is a town and taluk in Dakshina Kannada district. It lies 34 km northeast of the district headquarters, Mangalore, in Karnataka, India.[2]
Because of widely grown bamboo in ancient days, this place was named as Moodbidri. Moodbidri comes from two Tulu words, mūḍu "east" and bidiru "bamboo".[3]
Its average elevation is 147 metres (482 ft).[citation needed]
