By the efforts of
Govinda Dikshitar this Patasala was established. His other monumental works are the
gopura and granary of
Palaivananathar Temple, new shrines and gopura of
Kumbeswarar Temple, and
Ramaswamy Temple. Established in 1542 CE, this Patasala produced eminent scholars. To main this, in 1972 CE Advaitha Vidyacharya Maharaja Sahib Sri Govindha Dikshitar Punya Smarana Samethi was set up. The primary aim of this institution is to impart the knowledge of VEDAS and Sastric studies. This Patasala is continuing its services for the past 473 years without interruption. The three sects
Smartha,
Vaishnava and
Madhwa without any discrimination undergo their respective Vedic studies here. ==Classes==
