Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam Sri Sankara Matam, Tiruvannamalai is located on the Girivalam Road, opposite the Simha Tirtham.

Tiruvannamalai is the famous Agni Kshetra where Lord Shiva assumed the formless- form of a huge blazing flame. The Arunachala Hill is revered as Shiva himself and devotees visiting this holy town make it a point to perform Girivalam around the sacred hill.

Sri Sankara Matam is located on the Girivalam path. Regular pujas are offered to the Shrines inside Srimatam. A goshala is located inside the Srimatam premises.

On all the full-moon days(Pournami), Chandi Homam is performed at Srimatam. Recently, the 75th Avatara Mahotsav of His Holiness was celebrated and as a part of it, a Vanotsavam (Tree-planting programme) was held at Srimatam. (See here for more details)
