Mantralayam Temple, officially known as the Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mutt, is a revered pilgrimage center located in the Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh. It holds deep spiritual significance as the Brindavana (sacred tomb) of the 17th-century saint Sri Raghavendra Swamy, a prominent figure in the Dvaita Vedanta tradition.
This holy matha is one of the Mathatraya—three major Dvaita monasteries originating from Sri Madhvacharya, alongside Uttaradi Matha and Vyasaraja Matha.
