Sri Kaniyooru Matha

Aug. 25–27: First observance of the aradhane of Sri Raghavendra Swami at the Bangalore branch.

Welcome to the official site of Sri Kaniyooru Matha, one of the eight mathas Sri Madhvacharya established in Udupi to propagate the Dvaita philosophy. The matha was originally located in Kaniyooru (sometimes spelled Kaneyuru or Kaneyur), a village in present day Putturu taluk (in Mangalore district). A branch of the matha still exists in Kaniyooru, but the headquarters is now located on Car Street near Sri Krishna Matha in Udupi.

In addition to propagating the Dvaita philosophy, Sri Kaniyooru Matha also manages historic Sri Pajaka Kshetra, the birth place of Sri Madhvacharya. The current pontiff of the matha, Sri Sri Vidyavallabha Tirtha, ordinarily resides in Sri Pajaka Kshetra.
