The
principal shrine dedicated to Sri Sankaracharya is run by Sringeri Math. It has
two sublime shrines within its complex - one for that universal genius Sankara
and the other for Mother Saradathe patron Goddess of learning. Both are
fittingly adorned architecturally and spiritually. The Mother's icon in sitting
posture made of greate is pleasant to look and appears exuding Karunarasa from
her two broad eyes. She is wringing veneration by the sublimity and divinity
emanating from her simplicity hovering over the sanctum. There lies adjacent
the office of the Sankara Memorial Trust doing meritorious work for the
promotion of spiritual, educational activities aimed at perpetuating the memory
of Sri Sankara. Kalady embodies all these holy places of unique spiritual significance
and hence worth a visit.
It
lies at a distance of 45 km from Cochin. So accessible by plane, train, bus and
other means of transport either from Cochin or from Trichur.
