'''Chitrapur''' is a village in [[Bhatkal]] Taluka, [[Uttar Kannada]] District, [[Karnataka]], [[India]].<br />
The religious headquarters of the [[Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin]]s, is in this town. The town, initially a small village was improved upon under the guidance of the Saraswat swamis. The small village of Chitrapur was built according to the idea of town-planning with a road in the middle and houses and gardens on both sides. It became a miniature municipality with street lamps lit during the night and roads swept clean. <br />
The mathadhipatis also constructed the Shiv-Ganga Sarovar at Chitrapur, the erection of a storeyed building at Panchavati, starting of schools for boys and girls. They helped build a post office with quarters for the post-master and a vegetable market at Chitrapur. <br />
The Chitrapur Math has many ancient [[Hindu]] statues in a museum.<br />
