The Vidyashankara Temple
marks the spot where Adi Shankara discovered a cobra shielding
a frog from the torrential rains under its hood. The Temple
is an architectural marvel with 12 zodiacal pillars built
so that the suns rays fall on each in the order of the
solar months.
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 centre of learning, philosophy
and sublime spirituality. It is one of the holy places
of India and it attracts many pilgrims. |
