Vidyashankar Temple, Sringeri

Ramji

Vidhyashankar Temple, Sringeri, in the Mutt premises. Close to Sharadhamba Temple, the ruling diety of Sringeri.

Built by Hakka and Bukka, the pioneers of the Vijayanagar empire, this temple is a marvel. It is built on twelve pillars. The beauty is that, every month, the sun falls on one pillar (the month followed in the ancient days, not our Roman month), and that one pillar only! Not on any other pillar. It is a marvel of architecture. The architecture is superb, with even the anklets of the lady being very clearly visible. But of course, the temple is not frequented by many, except for those visiting Sringeri. Many do not even know these things!
