Swarnavalli Mutt

Swarnavalli Mutt

Adi Shankaracharya established 4 Maths in the four cardinal directions of Bharat Varsha. Those are Sri Dwaraka Peetham, Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri Karnataka, Sri Jyotirmatha Peetham at Badarikashram in North and Sri Govardhan Peetham in Jagannatha Puri at East. Later the Shankaracharyas of these Maths during their Vijaya Yatras established several Branch Mathas or Shakha Maths at various places to make Dharmic Education easily accessible to local people and to make accommodation facilities for the wandering Monks. Many such branch maths exist in India. The heads of these maths are called "Mathadhipatis" or " Sri Shishya Swamis".
