The Ahobila Matam is a Vadakalai Sri Vaishnava monastery established around 1400 CE at Ahobilam in Andhra Pradesh, India following the Vadakalai tradition of Vedanta Desika.[1] It is attributed to Sri Adivan Satakopa Swami (originally known as Srinivasacharya).[2][3][4]
Sri Adhivan Satakopa, a Vadakalai saint,[5] who was a great grand disciple of Vedanta Desika[6][7] and a sishya of Ghatikasatham Ammal, the scholarly successor of the celebrated Sri Vaishnava stalwart Nadadoor Ammal,[8] founded and established the Matha, based on the Pancharatra tradition.[9][10][11][12]
