Kalady
Kalady is a town located between Angamaly and Perumbavoor, east of the Periyar river, near to malayatoor in Ernakulam district of Kerala, India, not far from Cochin International Airport. It is notable as the birthplace of 8th century Indian philosopher Adi Shankara.
Kalady came to prominence only after its rediscovery in the late 19th century by the then Shankaracharya of Sringeri and the subsequent consecration of an Adi Shankara temple in 1910. The centenary of Kalady was celebrated in May 2010, and the story of its re discovery a hundred years ago has been documented in a film by the Sringeri Sharada Peetham.
