Chitrapur Math, Religious headquarters in Shirali, Uttara Kannada District, India
The Chitrapur Math houses seven sanctuums with a central shrine dedicated to Shri Bhavanishankar and includes burial sites of former spiritual leaders.
Established in 1757, the Math began its record-keeping with Sarovar Swami Parijnanashram I, who initiated a lineage of spiritual leaders in 1708.
The Math serves as the central religious institution for Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins, maintaining Sanskrit schools and organizing traditional Hindu festivals throughout the year.
Daily prayer ceremonies occur at both the Bhavanishankar shrine and the burial sites, with public access available during designated worship hours.
The Math contains a museum displaying ancient Hindu statues and operates under the leadership of Shri Sadyojat Shankarashram Swamiji since 1997.
