Just Another Beautiful Day At Kalady

The Periyar river is one of the main water body that flows behind the Sree Shankara Temple, we might have had heard a lot of mythical stories associated with it. Adhi Shankara likes to lead a sage life, but his mother like to lead a married life like others.

 

 

So one day, when he used to bath in the periyar river he was caught be a crocodile . He yelled for help . The poor mother can only cry for help but no one cames to rescue his son.

It is believed that he ask his mother to promise to became a sage as his life mission . When she agreed it his condition the crocodile released from his leg.

When i was in Kalady i used to visit the periyar river need to the temple in every morning which i couldn’t resist. The feel of pure air and the small temple in the scene attracted me a lot. The whole are is calm and quite, free from city chaos , only sound of bird.
