Chitradurga is one of the famous historical centers of Karnataka State. It is located in the central part of Karnataka. This city is about 200 kms away from the Capital City Bangalore on National Highway No.-4 towards Mumbai. It is a District Head Quarters and connected to Rail & Road routs of all important cities and towns of the Karnataka State. This place is known for historical and archeological monuments of pre-historic period. The magnificent rocks on Chinmuladri Hills, seven round rock fort built by the famous Palegars who ruled the region during the middle of the last century, the Chandravalli inscription of Kadambas period and Sri Jagadguru Murugharajendra Math have added ancient value to the place.

Chitradurga features bold rock hills and picturesque valleys, huge towering boulders in unimaginable shapes. It is known as the "stone fortress" (Kallina Kote). The landscape looks much like a mischievous giant's playground, with boulders thrown around, forming silhouettes against the sky. According to a story in the Epic Mahabharatha, a man-eating gaint named Hidimbasura lived on the Chitradurga hill and was a source of terror to everyone around. When the Pandavas came with their mother Kunti in the course of their exile, Bhima had a duel with Hidimba. Hidimba was slain by Bhima and peace returned to the area. Legend has it the boulders were part of the arsenal used during that duel. In fact, the boulders on which major part of the city rests belong to the oldest rock formation in the country.

Dr. Sri Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru is the present pontiff of the Math, Who was coronated in the Holy throne on 31st January, 1991, as successor of Sri Mallikarjuna Murugharajendra Swamiji.

He did his education in Chitradurga and completed his graduation here only from the University of Mysore. His sober, sincere and spiritual attitudes and aptitudes, attracted the attention of Sri Mallikarjuna Murugharajendra Swamiji, who declared him as his successor.
