#Sringeri gets its name from Rishi #Shringya, son of Rishi #Vibhandaka. In fact, the full name is #RishiShringra Giri, Giri meaning mountain.
#Sringeri, as we see it today, owes its history, heritage, and lineage to Adi #Shankaracharya. The town today revolves around the #Shardha #Temple and #Sharada_Peetham set up by him in 8th CE, with #Tunga River flowing between them.

The #Sringeri_Sharada
_Peetha or Matha is located South of the #Sri_Sharadamba temple, across the #Tunga river, in #Narasimha Vana. A foot bridge, called #Vidyatheertha Setu connects the two sides. The Sringeri Sharada Peetha, also called #Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sharada peetam, is one of the four #Hindu Advaita maths established by Sri #Adi_Shankara.
Following the tradition initiated by Adi Shankara, the maţha is in charge of the #Yajur_Veda. The head of the matha is called #Jagadguru (teacher to the world) and also carries the #Shankaracharya name as a title.
