Shirur Mutt is located on the Car Street in
Udupi. Located next to the Shri Krishna Mutt, the main branch of this mutt is in the village Shirur, 21 km from Udupi near
Hiriyadka. The idol of Vithala with Sridevi and Bhudevi, gifted by
Shri Madhwacharya to Shri Vamana Tirtha, is worshipped here. To distinguish this Vithala from the other idols of Vithala, the name Vamana Vithala has been given to this idol.
