On December 10, we went to see Kalady which was the birthplace of a renowned Adi Shankara. Knowing the greatness of Adi Shankara, his role reviving Sanatana Dharma, and some of the incidents, we were humbled, and silenced. It was great experience to see the Temple on the banks of the river.  
What is Kalady?
Kaladi holds immense historical and cultural significance as the birthplace of Adi Shankaracharya, who was born here in 788 AD. Adi Shankaracharya is renowned for his contributions to Advaita Vedanta, a school of Hindu philosophy that emphasizes the non-dual nature of the self and the ultimate reality (Brahman).
Key Attractions in Kalady
Shrine of Adi Shankaracharya: The primary attraction in Kaladi is the Adi Shankaracharya Shrine, built in memory of the great philosopher. The shrine is located on the banks of the Periyar River and is a place of pilgrimage for devotees. The simple yet elegant structure houses a statue of Adi Shankaracharya and serves as a place for prayer and meditation.

Sri Krishna Temple: Adjacent to the Adi Shankaracharya Shrine is the Sri Krishna Temple, where Adi Shankaracharya is believed to have worshipped Lord Krishna. The temple is an important spiritual center and is visited by devotees who seek the blessings of Lord Krishna.

Crocodile Ghat (Muthala Kadavu): This ghat on the Periyar River is historically significant as the place where young Shankaracharya had a miraculous encounter with a crocodile. According to legend, while taking a bath in the river, Shankaracharya was seized by a crocodile. He requested his mother's permission to become a monk, and upon her consent, the crocodile released him. This event is considered a turning point in his life.
