Chitrapur Math
After the "no-show" at Bhatkal (See above section) Swami Shankarāshram was deeply hurt. He decided to return to Gokarn. On the way back, at the village of Shirali, the devotees pleaded to Swamiji to stay there for sometime and to bless the people with his presence. The swamiji consented and he stayed at the residence of the Nāgarkattē family.
The Nāgarkattē family later donated their residence in honour of the Swamiji, after his death. This became the Chitrāpur Matha, the head matha of the community.
