Sringeri (IAST: Śṛṅgerī; Script error: No such module "IPA".) also called Shringeri is a hill town and Taluk headquarters located in Chikkamagaluru district in the Indian state of Karnataka.

Sringeri is the site of Sri Sharadamba temple, a part of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham established by Adi Shankaracharya.

Etymology

The name Sringeri is derived from Rishyashringa-giri, a nearby hill that is believed to have contained the hermitage of Rishi Vibhandaka and his son Rishyashringa. In an episode in the Bala-Kanda of the Ramayana, Vasishtha narrates how Rishyashringa brought rains to the drought-stricken kingdom of Romapada. Later the place name was shortened to Shringagiri[3]

According to legend, Adi Shankaracharya is said to have selected the site as the place to stay and teach his disciples, because when he was walking by the Tunga River, he saw a cobra with a raised hood, providing shelter from the hot sun to a frog undergoing labour. Astonished by the place where natural enemies had gone beyond their instincts, he stayed here for twelve years. Sri Adi Shankaracharya also established Mathas in the subcontinent (the northern one at Jyotirmath, near Badrinath), eastern (at Puri) and western (at Dwaraka) of India.
