Information – Śrī Suvarņa-vihāra Gaudīya Matha was founded by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvati Thakura. On the auspicious occasion of Sri Goura Panchami Tithi, Monday, May 25th, 1936, he inaugurated the temple and installed the deities, Sri Sri Suvarnavihari Gourahari and Sri Sri Radha Govinda. Additionally, ancient relics from the time of King Suvarna Sena from Satya Yuga can be seen next to the Tulsi Mandapa.

Information – While going from Godruma to Nṛsiṁha-pallī one day, Śrīla Sarasvatī Ṭhākura espied a particular tract of land and directed his disciples to contact the owner to procure it. At his request the proprietor became perplexed and told the devotees, “Please inform Mahārāja that I am honored to give this plot to him, but it is wild jungle with tigers and jackals and no one dares go there. Better I give him some other, cultivated land.” Śrīla Sarasvatī Ṭhākura insisted that he wanted that spot only, and after securing it he sent disciples to search the place. Upon returning they reported having seen carved stones and raised areas where high walls had once stood, and a large effulgent chakra with a glowing jewel on its head protecting the ruins of a huge building. Śrīla Sarasvatī Ṭhākura then revealed that this was once the palace of King Survasa Sena, from the time of Satya-yuga. At that site he eventually established the Suvarṇa Vihāra Gauḍīya Maṭha.
