Bangalore Hulimavu Raghavendra Swamy

Jai Saicharan Rayaru

Hulimavu was previously known as Amarapura, which came under the administration of Saarakeya (present day: Sarakki). Apparently Amarapura was derived from the word Amra or Amru which translates to Mango or Sourness. Over years the name has evolved to its present name Hulimavu which in Kannada literally means "sour mango". 

Among Shri Raghavendra Mutt in Hulimavu, other famous temples are Sri Kodandarama Swamy, Sathyanarayana and Saibaba temple.

Inside the premises of Raghavendra swamy mutt, Viswaroopa Venkateswara shrine is built.

Chennai Mylapore Raghavendra Swamy

Jai Sainidhi Rayaru

Mylapore (Mayilāppūr) is a cultural hub and neighborhood in the southern part of the city of Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, India. Mylapore is also called Thirumayilai.

Mylapore is a major commercial center, as well as one of the oldest residential parts of the city. It is connected to other parts of city by road and the MRTS system. It is known for its tree-lined avenues, the seventh-century Kapaleeshwarar Temple, San Thome Basilica, katcheri season and Ramakrishna Math. Mylapore is regarded as the birthplace of Tamil poet and saint Thiruvalluvar one of the icons of Tamil literature.

Although Kapaleeswarar Temple remains the most important temple of Mylapore, there exists indeed several other temples in the neighbourhood, that includes Srikara Anjaneya Raghavendra Temple and Mutt on Salai Street.

Chennai Triplicane Raghavendra Swamy

Jai Shrinidhi Rayaru

Triplicane, also known as Thiruvallikeni, is one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Chennai, India. It is situated on the Bay of Bengal coast and about 0.5 km (0.31 mi) from Fort St George. The average elevation of the neighbourhood is 14 metres above sea level.
 
Along with Mylapore and the surrounding regions, Triplicane is historically much older than the city of Chennai itself, with a mention in records as early as the Pallava period. Triplicane is equally famous for its rich traditional culture, which is prominent in and around the streets (known as "mada veethis" in Tamil) of Parthasarthy Temple.
 

 Although Parthasarathy Temple remains the most important temple of Triplicane, there exists indeed several other temples in the neighbourhood, that includes Raghavendra Temple and Mutt on T.P Koil Street.

The mutt / temple is just few yards away from famous Parthasarathy Temple.
