Shankaracharya Samadhi stands right behind the historic Kedarnath Temple in the high altitude Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. This revered memorial marks the sacred site where Adi Guru Shankaracharya, the great 8th century philosopher and revivalist of Advaita Vedanta, attained Mahasamadhi at the young age of 32 after establishing four cardinal mathas across India.
Following the catastrophic 2013 flash floods, a grand subterranean memorial and an impressive 12 foot statue carved from chlorite schist stone were rebuilt and inaugurated. Pilgrims visiting Kedarnath walk behind the main sanctum to pay respects, meditate in the underground hall, and admire the serene depiction of the saint surrounded by towering snow covered peaks.
Shankaracharya Samadhi is located directly behind Kedarnath Temple and is accessible during the pilgrimage season.
The best time to visit Shankaracharya Samadhi is from May to June and September to October when the Kedarnath shrine remains open.
