Shri Gunanidhi Teertha Sripadangalavaru was the 24th Pontiff of Shri Sripadaraja Math, serving from 1798 to 1804. Before assuming the leadership of the Math, he was a distinguished scholar in the Mysore royal court. His scholarship, spiritual leadership, and close association with the Mysore rulers helped strengthen and expand the activities of the Math.
The Mysore King generously supported the Math during his tenure by granting lands at Thayuru, Muguru, and Periyapatna, helping the institution flourish. Shri Gunanidhi Teertharu travelled extensively throughout the Mysore region, spreading Madhwa Siddhanta through religious discourses.
His Moola Brindavan is located at Thayuru near T. Narasipura, on the banks of the Kapila River
