Jump to: navigation, search

The Krishnapura Matha belongs to the Madhwa sect of Vaishnavism. The Krishnapura Matha was established by Sri Madhvacharya, a Dvaita philosopher. The Krishnapura matha is currently headed by Sri Vidyasagara Thirta Swamiji. The first Swami of this matha was Sri Janardhana Thirta, who was one of the direct disciples of Sri Madhvacharya. The matha (written as mutt in some records and literature) has many branches all over India. The matha ( monastery ) at Krishnapura, which is 3 kilometres from Surathkal town is the main matha from which the name has been derived. The presiding deity of the temple is Sri Kalingamardhana Krishna (Krishna on hood of serpent). There is a Mukhyaprana Hanuman temple inside the matha. The structure of the building is mostly made of wood. This type of structure is rare in the age of concrete buildings nowadays.
