The statue’s unveiling took place at Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Math, located in Partagali, a serene village on the banks of the Kushavati river in South Goa’s Canacona district. This spiritual institution represents the first Gokarna Math of the Gowd Saraswat Brahmin community, following the Dvaita tradition established by Jagadguru Madhvacharya in the 13th century.

The event scale is massive: tens of thousands of devotees attended today, with over 1.2 lakh expected over the full 11-day festival running from November 27 to December 7, 2025.
The Historic Partagali Math
The mutt premises in Goa was constructed at Partagal village 370 years ago, serving as a spiritual beacon for the Saraswat community. The entire complex underwent extensive refurbishment for the celebrations, blending heritage preservation with modern infrastructure.
What makes this Math significant:
- One of India’s oldest monastic institutions
- 550 years of unbroken spiritual tradition
- Cultural and social contributions spanning centuries
- Headquarters of the first Gowd Saraswat Brahmin Vaishnava Math
Special cultural programs featuring renowned artists Shankar Mahadevan and Anup Jalota added entertainment to the spiritual festivities, creating a perfect blend of devotion and celebration.
A Day of Dual Devotion
Before arriving in Goa, PM Modi participated in the Laksha Kantha Gita Parayana programme at Sri Krishna Matha in Udupi, Karnataka, where approximately 1,00,000 participants recited the Srimad Bhagavad Gita in unison—demonstrating the day’s broader spiritual significance across South India.
The Prime Minister also inaugurated the Suvarna Teertha Mantapa and dedicated the Kanaka Kavacha (golden cover) for the sacred Kanakana Kindi at the Krishna temple, making November 28 a landmark day for Hindu cultural heritage.
Dignitaries in Attendance
Goa Governor Ashok Gajapathi Raju, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Union minister Shripad Naik, along with the state cabinet ministers, were present for the function, underscoring the event’s national importance.
A special helipad was constructed within the Math premises to facilitate the Prime Minister’s arrival, highlighting the meticulous planning behind this historic occasion.
