History & Significance
Sri Adi Sankaracharya travelled all over Bharat and established the eternal principles of Advaita Vedanta among scholars and common men alike. Temples and shrines dedicated to Sri Adi Sankaracharya are present throughout our sacred country and stand as a timeless testimony to His monumental efforts towards National Integration and spiritual harmony.
"At Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, the southern tip of Bharat where the three oceans meet, Sri Sankaracharya Mandir is consecrated right on the sea-shore, offering solace, wisdom, and blessings to pilgrims from all corners of the world."
The holy mandir is blessed by the Shankaracharya Swamijis of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. Below are photographs of the mandir and moments captured during the holy visit of His Holiness Pujyasri Jayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamiji to Kanyakumari.
