Nestled within the tranquil landscape of Tumkur, Sree Siddaganga Mutt stands as a revered Gurukul, carrying forward a timeless tradition of service to the needy and the underprivileged.

A Heritage of Compassion: Founded in the 15th Century A.D. by Sri Gosala Siddeswara Swamiji, a torchbearer of the Shunya Simhasana spiritual academy, the Mutt’s roots are embedded in the teachings of social reformer Basaweshwara. This heritage of compassion and learning has endured over centuries, culminating in the dynamic leadership of Dr. Sree Sree Sree Shivakumara Swamiji, who at 104 years old, continues to guide and inspire.

Educational and Spiritual Oasis: Beyond its spiritual significance, the Mutt serves as an educational hub. Dr. Shivakumara Swamiji’s visionary leadership birthed the Sree Siddaganga Educational Society, offering free boarding and education to countless children. The Mutt is not just a place of worship, but a haven of holistic development and enlightenment.

Sacred Spaces: Within the Mutt’s grounds, sacred places tell stories of devotion and dedication. The temple of Sree Siddalingeshwara & Sree Siddagangamma, the revered old Mutt, and the sanctified Gaddiges of Sree Uddana Swamiji and Sree Shivakumara Swamiji stand as pillars of spiritual heritage. The Sree Shivayoga Mandira and the historic Guest House, built by Kempahonnaiah, evoke a sense of reverence.

Serving Humanity: The Mutt’s philanthropic efforts extend to a Goshala, a mass prayer center, and a dining hall that exemplifies its commitment to serving humanity. The administrative office, the Darshan room, and the serene Kalyani contribute to the holistic experience of the Mutt.
