Stotras - Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham

The Sharadamba Temple at Sringeri is an 8th-century temple, established by Adi Shankara, who also established his first Peetham and monastery at the site. The temple is part of the larger complex called Sringeri Sharada Peetham, which is the southern cardinal monastery established by Shankara. The other four are located in Dwarka (West), Puri (East) and Jyotirmath (North).

Legend

Sringeri was initially called Shringagiri until the name gradually corrupted to Sringeri. A hagiographic legend states that Sri Adi Shankara, during His travels across India, witnessed a snake unveiling its hood like an umbrella to shield a pregnant frog from the hot sun on the banks of the river Tunga in Sringeri.
