Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mutt Mantralayam

Nestled along the riverbank, this ancient temple draws countless devotees seeking spiritual solace and blessings from Sri Raghavendra Swamy, whose Brindavana is the focal point of worship, along with Lord Hanuman.

The temple is open daily from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM and again from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, providing ample opportunity for darshan and participation in various poojas.

Early morning visits between 5:00 and 8:00 AM, especially during the winter months from November to February, are considered the best time to experience the serene atmosphere of the mutt.

Devotees can choose from different darshan entry types: free darshan, special darshan (₹300), and VIP darshan (₹1000), catering to diverse preferences and requirements. The daily rituals and poojas are conducted in Sanskrit, Kannada, and Telugu, reflecting the temple’s inclusive spiritual tradition.

Notable poojas include Sankalpa Seva from 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM, General Darshana during the main opening hours, Rathotsava at 6:30 PM, and Padapooja & Vastra Seva. The temple observes several significant festivals throughout the year.

The Raghavendra Swamy Aradhana Mahotsavam in August (Shravana month) is a major event, drawing large gatherings of devotees.

Other important festivals include Hanumadvrata in November, Tulasi Habba and Utthana Dwadashi at the end of Kartika Masam, Dhanurmasa Pujas from mid-December to mid-January, and Makara Sankramana in January.
