Sringeri 341 Kms from Bangalore/90 kms from
Chikmagalur
Situated
on the banks of Tungabhadra, was established by Sri Adi Shankara in
9th Century A.D. It's famous for Vidyashankara Temple and Sharada
Temple.
Sringeri was discovered by Sri Sankaracharya as a place where even
natural animosities did not exist, as he saw a frog in labour
protected from the scorching rays of the sun by a raised hood of a
cobra. He installed at that place the Goddess of learning, Sri
Sharada.
He also established a Matha for the propagation of Advaita
philosophy, and his first sishya Sri Suresvaracharya was made the head
of the Matha. From then onwards, Sringeri has become famous as a
center of learning, philosophy and sublime spirituality. It is one of
the holy places of India and it attracts many pilgrims.
