This is Sri Raghavendra Swamy birth place in bhuvanagiri , Tamilnadu. He later moved to his sister's house for vidyabhyasa to Tanjaore. After that he went to Sri Sudheendra Tirtha sri matham in Kumbakonam to continue his education and server the guru and sri matham. It is at this point that he was convinced and given sanyasa ashrama by his guru.
This place today is called Vadavaru and it is one the banks of the serenely flowing Cauvery. It was at this place that Raghavendra decided to do his daily ablutions, meditation and prayer. Vadavaru then was a forested area a little off the main city of Tanjore. The river Vadavaru is one of the smaller tributaries of the Cauvery and Raghavendra is believed to have spent twelve years here after his initiation into the Sri Matha.
