Palimaru Mata’s head office is located in Palimaru village near Udupi, about 7 km from Padupidri. Matha is located on the banks of the Shambabi River. The main deity was Sri Kodanda Rama and Sita and Lakshmana were given to the first Yati by Acharya Madhva.
Sri Hrishikesha Teertha (1250-1330 AD) is the first yati of this Mata. He was also the first person to be ordained as a Sanyaasa by Acharya Madhva. Therefore, the cycle of the Paryaya system of Krishna Puje begins with this Mata. Sumadvavijaya states that Sri Hrishikesha Tirtha was one of Acharya Madhva’s favorite disciples. During his teacher’s lectures, he was reading the Bhagavata verses.
He has written ‘Sampradaya Padhati’ and ‘Anumadvacharita’ which deal with Madhva’s early life and works. He personally made a copy of the Sarvamula Granthas written in Tulu script on a palm leaf, which is treasured in Mata. (As mentioned above, I copied the same onto a silicon wafer).
