About Sringeri

Shri Adi Shankaracharya set up his first matha in Sringeri. Since then, it has become an essential destination for pilgrims from around the world. Located in Chikmagalur, it is believed that Adi Shankaracharya chose Sringeri as the spot to build his mutta after he saw a cobra spreading its hood to protect a pregnant frog from the sun. Struck by this benevolence, Shankaracharya felt that Sringeri was genuinely unique. Other temples to visit in Sringeri are Vidya Shankar Temple and Sarada Temple.
