  We present optical observations and analysis of a bright type Iax SN~2020udy
hosted by NGC 0812. The light curve evolution of SN~2020udy is similar to other
bright Iax SNe. Analytical modeling of the quasi bolometric light curves of SN
2020udy suggests that 0.08$\pm$0.01 M$_{\odot}$ of $^{56}$Ni would have been
synthesized during the explosion. Spectral features of SN 2020udy are similar
to the bright members of type Iax class showing weak Si {\sc II} line. The
late-time spectral sequence is mostly dominated by Iron Group Elements (IGEs)
with broad emission lines. Abundance tomography modeling of the spectral time
series of SN~2020udy using TARDIS indicates stratification in the outer ejecta,
however, to confirm this, spectral modeling at a very early phase is required.
After maximum light, uniform mixing of chemical elements is sufficient to
explain the spectral evolution. Unlike the case of normal type Ia SNe, the
photospheric approximation remains robust until +100 days, requiring an
additional continuum source. Overall, the observational features of SN 2020udy
are consistent with the deflagration of a Carbon-Oxygen white dwarf.
