Gokarna Math, Hindu monastery in Partagali, Goa.

The Gokarna Math temple stands along the Kushavati River, featuring shrines dedicated to Shri Veera MoolaRama and Shri Veeravittala deities.

The monastery was established in 1475 AD as the first Gaud Saraswat Matha of the Dvaita order by Jagadguru Madhvacharya, marking a religious transformation.

The institution maintains a systematic Guru succession method where the head selects a young disciple to ensure continuous spiritual guidance for the Saraswat community.

The monastery complex includes educational facilities established in the 1950s, offering instruction in religious texts and traditional teachings.

The remains of each Mathadipathi receive embalming treatment and interment within memorial structures where daily rituals continue to honor their memory.
