About Us

Sri Panduranga Vittala Mandira was established in 1973 by the well known Madhwa scholar and guru Sri Gurugovinda Vittala dasaru of Mysore. Born Govinda Rao M R, he converted his house into an abode for Panduranga. The Mandira is managed by a Private Charitable Trust – Sri Gurugovinda Nivasa Trust.

The house itself was built in 1940. Since it had become old and dilapidated, the Mandira was reconstructed and opened to devotees in May 2019.

The Vittala Mandira has completed 50 years of service to its devotees. A year-long celebration was inaugurated in May 2022 by His Holiness Sri Sri Vidyavallabha Swamiji of Sonda mutt. The celebrations conclude in May 2023 with a grand celebration in the presence of His Holiness Sri Sri Vidyavallabha Swamiji of Sonda mutt.
