Periyar

This picture was taken on my visit to Kalady, This is river periyar. Kalady is the birth place of Adi Shankracharya. Among the many miraculous happenings associated with Shankaracharya's life is one when he is believed to have diverted the course of this river, then flowing one and a half kilometers away from the house, for his aged mother who could have her daily bath in the river without walking a long way. Even today one can see the river has taken an uncharacteristic turn towards the Sringeri Math shrine,believed to be the site of Sankara,sumitha house.
