Shri Saunsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevolam Math:

Located at Partagali Village on the banks of the sacred rivulet Kushavati, this math established by Shreernai Narayanateertha Swamiji in the year 1475 A. D. has an uninterrupted tradition of 23 Swamijis.

This is an ancient Math of the Gaud Saraswat Bhrahmin Vaishnav Commu nity which maintained contact with the scattered members of the community. The symbol representing the spiritual movement carried on by the Math for over 500 years is one of the few huge ancient 'Vatavriksha' (Banyan tree) which is about 200ft. x 22 ft. and is considered a Tapasya Kshetra for over a thousand years.

Vatavriksha and the Ishwar linga in front of it are worshipped by the people of Partagali and adjoining area. This place is popularly known as Bramhasthan. Partagali is being developed into centre of culture and learning, without in any way tampering with its glorious traditions.
