Sringeri Shankar Mutt

One of the holiest and most important Hindu pilgrim centres, Sringeri was the site of the first of the four Peethas (centres) established by the great sage Adi Shankaracharya, the founder of the Advaita philosophy. Sringeri has the Sharadamba Temple dedicated to Sharadamba, Goddess of Learning and Wisdom. The temple is famed for the matchless beauty of the idol. Nearby is the Vidyashankara Temple which is an architectural marvel – its 12 sculpted pillars, each representing a sign of the zodiac, are placed so that the sun’s rays fall on each successively, in the order of the solar months

Major temples in Sringeri:

Sri Sharadamba Temple: Goddess Sharade is associated with knowledge, music, art and wisdom. Sri Sharadamba temple in Sringeri has a golden idol of Goddess Sharade and other temples dedicated to Torana Ganapathy, Adi Shankaracharya, Mahalaya Brahma, KodandaramaSwamy, Hanuman (Anjaneya), Garuda etc

Shankara Mutt is the holy abode of Sri Jagadguru Adi Shakaracharya Swamyji and the goddess Sri Sharadamba. One of the many branches of Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham in Sringeri, the ambience of the temple gives you a hair-raising experience. There are 3 parts in this temple complex—Sri Sharadamba Temple, Sri Adi Shankaracharya Temple and a prayer hall. The mutt and the committee holds several cultural and musical events during the year, to which, everyone is welcome!

The beauty of the nature describes the place more than rating or spreading words!

Best place to get blessings of Sri sharada and shankara mutt gurugalu

Temple very beautifully built also a dedicated temple for shankaraacharya is a place to see, parking a bit problem also a marriage hall available behind temple, it's in corner just diagonal to govt school so easily visible it's a branch of sringeri so the Divine God is Sharada, been here for a relative marriage easily fits 500 people but parking is a real issue

Very beautiful white marble idols of Sri Shankaracharya and saraswathi. Well maintained and can spend some peaceful time here meditating. Their is a marriage hall attached to this mutt and one can make use of this. The place gets some noice as it is right next to main road. Good bus facility available.

Sri Sharadamba Temple (ಶೃಂಗೇರಿ ಶಾರದಾಂಬೆ) is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to goddess Saraswati in the holy town of Sringeri in Karnataka, India.

The Sharadamba Temple at Sringeri (Shringa giri in Sanskrit) is an 8th-century temple, founded by Sri Adi Shankaracharya. It housed a sandalwood statue of Shardamba in a standing posture, which was installed by Adi Shankarachaya until the Vijayanagara rulers and Sri Vidyaranya (12th Jagadguru) installed a seated gold statue of Sri Shardamba in the 14th century.
Sankara is believed to have envisioned this place as the holiest where a snake hooded as an umbrella to protect a pregnant frog from hot Sun during its labour. To commemorate this incident, a sculpture known as KAPPE SHANKARA is there on the footsteps to the river Tunga. This was the first place where Sankara is believed to have established one of the four major mutts. As per Hindu legend, the place is associated with sage Rishyasringa, son of Vibhandakamuni. He did severe penance at this place, leading to the name Sringeri. The temple was renovated during the regime of Vijayanagara Empire during the 14-16th centuries and later during 1916.

The Shringeri Sharada Suprabhatha was adopted by the Shringeri matha in the late 1970s by Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha swamiji. The very famous Sree Sharada Suprabhata Stotram was composed by Veda Brahma. Turuvekere Subrahmanya Vishweshwara Dikshith (also known as Sri. T. S. Vishweshwara Dikshith) for the divine Shringeri Sharada maata (God Mother).

There are over 40 temples in Sringeri. Important ones are the Malahanikareshwara Temple on a small hillock called as Mallappa Betta. This is built on Dravidian style. There is one Bhavani Temple, SthamBha Ganapati (Ganesha on the piller). One of the best example of temple architecture can be found in Sri Vidyashankara Temple which is next to Sri Sharadamba Temple. Janardhana Temple, Harihara Temple, Brindavana of past Jagadgurus at the Narasimha Vana are worth visiting. Kalabhairava Temple to the East, Durga Temple in the South, Anjaneya Temple to the West and Kali Temple to the North of Sringeri are also few important temples.
