Sonda Vadiraja Mutt. Sirsi

Sonda is small little village in the Sirsi taluk of Uttara Kannada district India situated at a distance of around 450km from Bangalore and 20km from Sirsi. It is mostly known as a pilgrimage center due to the presence of three prominent Mutts: the Swarnavalli Mutt, the Vadiraj Mutt and the Jain Mutt. These attract hundreds of pilgrims mostly through out the year. The green surroundings, typical to the Malnad area of Sonda and Sirsi add to the serenity of these places of religious importance.
The place is the headquarters of the Sodhe Matha, one of the eight Ashta mathas established by Sri Madhvacharya, the famous Dvaita philosopher. The matha at Sodhe village was set up by Swami Sri Vadirajatirtha.

The Brindavana of Swami Vadiraja Thirtha can be found at Sodhe. The main deities worshiped at the Sodhe matha are Lord Bhuvaraha and Lord Hayagriva. Sri Bhuta Raja is also worshiped there.

Other places to visit near Sodhe include the Sri Trivikrama Temple, Tapovana where Sri Vadiraja Swamy used to meditate, Swarnavalli Matha and Sahasralinga where one can find hundreds of Shiva Lingas on the banks of the river Shalmala. Jain monasteries,[1] (Swadhi jain matha) and Digambar Jain temples are also at this place.
