The Dvadasha Stotra (Sanskrit: द्वादशस्तोत्रम्, romanized: Dvādaśastotraṃ) is a series of 12 stotras, or religious hymns, composed by Madhvacharya, the 13th-century founder of the Dvaita school of Indian philosophy. Dvadaśa in Sanskrit means "twelve", and all the 12 stotras are in praise of the Hindu god Vishnu.[1][2] The third stotra is considered a summary of Madhvacharya's philosophy.[3]

It is believed that the stotras were composed in connection with the installation of the idol of the Hindu god Krishna at Udupi.[4]
There have been numerous musical compositions of the Dvadasha Stotra over the years. It is also a ritual to recite the Dvadasha Stotra at the time of naivedya[5] or the offering of food to God performed at Madhva temples.
