INTRODUCTION
Kalady, a tiny village on the
right bank of the River Periyar, is the birth place of
Sri Shankra Charya, one of the India's great
philosopher-saints, who lived in the 8th century. Among
the notable places to be seen here are the Ramakrishna
Advaia Ashram and the adjoining Sri Krishna temple,
which has a beautiful shrine modeled on the Sri
Ramakrishna Temple at Belur Math. From the top of the
tall 8-storey-high, brilliantly painted pink memorial,
the Sri Adi Shankra Keerthistambham, one can have a
splendid view of the surrounding palm-fringed fields.
