About Malkhed

Malkhed originally called Manyakheta was the capital of Rashtrakuta empire from 814 CE to 968 CE. This place rose to prominence when King 'Amoghavarsha I' (Nrupatunga Amoghavarsha) shifted Rashtrakuta capital from Mayurkhandi (present day Bidar) to Manyakheta. Amoghavarsha I is said to have ruled 64 years. He authored first classical work in Kannada- Kavirajamarga.

Amoghavarsha I with the help of scholars and intellectuals like Mahaveeracharya, Jinasenacharya, Ajitasenacharya and Gunabhadracharya helped spread Jainism in this region. Around 1050 CE Manyakheta was taken over by Kalyana Chalukyas, it remained their capital before moving to Kalyana. Malkhed is also known for the Brindavan of Madhva seer Jayatirtha at Uttaradi Matha. Jayatirtha was one of four disciples of Madhvacharya.

For this commentary called Nyaya Sudha, he is popularly known as Teekacharya, a disciple of Akshobhya Tirtha (one of the four disciples of Madhvacharya), he had converted the Malkhed into the centre of Madhva study.

Uttaradhi Math

Sri Uttaradi Maṭha : ಶ್ರೀ ಉತ್ತರಾದಿಮಠ श्री उत्तरादिमठ: Uttaradi Maṭha
is a Dvaita maṭha (a monastic religious establishment) based in southern India and has great history. It is one of the original seats of Jagad-guru Śri Madhvacharya and thus belongs to the Madhva sampradaya.

"The Supreme God also wanted to bless the souls with divine knowledge, by which they can attain salvation. For this purpose, the Supreme God — Sri Narayaṇa himself incarnated as
Sri Haṁsa and adorned the pontifical seat called the Haṁsa-Piṭha. As He is also known as Uttara, the Maṭha initiated by Him came to be known as "Uttara-Adi Maṭha" (The Maṭha initiated by Sri Uttara)."
