Parakala Mutt, Sri Vaishnava monastery in Mysore, India
The Parakala Mutt monastery contains the sacred idol of Sri Lakshmi Hayagreeva Swami, which stands as the central focus of religious ceremonies.
Founded in 1268 during the Hoysala Empire, the monastery became the spiritual center for the Vadakalai denomination and served as guidance for Mysore maharajas.
The monastery leads traditional ceremonies, provides education in Vedic studies, and maintains Sanskrit philosophical texts for religious scholars and students.
Visitors can reach the monastery near Jagmohan Palace through local transportation, with regular religious ceremonies occurring throughout the year.
The monastery extends its presence across southern India and maintains an international branch in Charlotte, North Carolina, featuring a replica of Lakshmi Hayagriva Moorty.
