Spent a day at Sringeri Sharada Peetham

The Sringeri Sharada Peetham, also known as Sringeri Matha, is a Hindu religious institution located in Sringeri, Karnataka. It is one of the four Mathas (Hindu religious institutions) founded by Adi Shankara, the other three being the Mathas at Dvārakā, Purī and Badrināth.

The history of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham is closely linked to that of the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy, of which Shankara was a proponent. The origins of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham are uncertain, but it is believed to have been founded in the 8th century CE by Shankara himself. The Matha grew in prominence in the 12th century, when it came under the patronage of the Hoysala dynasty. In the 14th century, the Sringeri Sharada Peetham came under the control of the Vijayanagara Empire, and it remained under the Vijayanagara Empire until the 16th century, when the empire fell to the Deccan Sultanate. The Sringeri Sharada Peetham was then taken over by the Maratha Empire, and it remained under Maratha control until the British East India Company annexed Maratha territory in 1818. The Sringeri Sharada Peetham was eventually transferred to the British.

It is now regarded as one of the sacred institutions for the devout.
