== Description ==<br />
The work comprises 235 [[shloka]]s<ref>{{Cite book |last=Vādirāja |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ov1jAAAAMAAJ&q=+235 |title=Tīrthaprabandhaḥ |date=1990 |publisher=Śrīmanmādhvarāddhantasaṃvardhanī Sabhā |pages=10 |language=sa}}</ref> and is divided into 4 chapters, one for each direction. Vadiraja Tirtha composed this document during his extensive pilgrimage throughout India. The shlokas, in addition to describing the places, also provides information on the sacredness of the places and praises the deities.<br />
<br />
The chapter covering North India mentions important places such as [[Pandarapur]], [[Allahabad|Prayag]], [[Varanasi|Kashi]], [[Gaya, India|Gaya]], [[Mathura, Uttar Pradesh|Mathura]] and [[Ayodhya]]. The chapter on South India covers [[Rameshwaram]], [[Kanyakumari (town)|Kanyakumari]] and [[Trivandrum]]. The chapter on West India covers [[Pajaka]], [[Udupi]], [[Gokarna, India|Gokarna]] and [[Kolhapur]]. The chapter on the east covers [[Puri]], Ahobila and [[Hampi]]. A total of about 100 places are covered in the document. In addition to holy places, a lot of rivers, including [[Ganges]], [[Yamuna]], [[Kaveri]] and [[Godavari]] are mentioned.<br />
<br />
The ''Tirtha Prabandha'' is held in high esteem amongst practising [[Madhwas|Madhva]] Hindus and a recitation of all the shlokas is considered equal to an actual pilgrimage covering all the mentioned places.<br />
