Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mutt in Yelahanka Newtown is a dedicated spiritual center following the Dvaita philosophy of Madhvacharya. The temple enshrines the Moola Brindavana of Sri Raghavendra Swamy, a 17th-century Hindu saint and philosopher. Devotees visit primarily to offer prayers and perform Sevas associated with the Madhva tradition. The complex is located within the residential density of Yelahanka Satellite Town. It functions as a community hub for religious discourses, Vedic chanting, and cultural events. The architecture reflects traditional temple design found in South Indian Mutts, emphasizing space for meditation and congregational singing. It remains an active site for the propagation of the Raghavendra Swamy Aradhana Mahotsava.
