Shankara Mutt is the holy abode of Sri Jagadguru Adi Shakaracharya Swamyji and the goddess Sri Sharadamba. This austere structure is an institution in itself. 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 complex also has a book stall and a guesthouse. The temple gopuram is something that every visitor should observe. It has the carving of each of the Shankaracharyas till date on it. The complex is uncluttered and well maintained to reflect its belief of ‘Shuddhi’ (meaning cleansing). The mutt and the committee holds several cultural and musical events during the year, to which, everyone is welcome! The committee conducts classes to learn the Vedas (sacred Hindu texts), Upanishads (ancient Hindu texts pertaining to philosophy) and Sanskrit language. It is a treat to the eyes and the soul with a visit to this holy abode.
