Kadur
The thick relationship beetween the Ithihasa of Kadur and the World Famous Sri Sringeri Shankara Math is traced back to centuries of years. It had been the profound prayer of the populace of Kadur to establish a branch of Sri Sharada Peetah. This fervent wish and the dreams turned into reality on the 28th November 2001. The branch had been inaugurated on the Shubha muhurtha of karthika Shukla Thrayodhasi (in Asvini Nakshtra)

Sanskrita Shiromanies of ester years recall with deep reverence of the memorable days when the Jagadguru Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharathi Swamigal the 34th pontiff of Sri Sharada Mutt had practised Shastra Adhyayana under the guidance of Shri K. Shankara Sastri before he was crowned as Matathipathi. There was also a Samskrita Vidya peetah which functioned at Narayanapura Agrahara which was very near to the Sri Math permises.
In the 19th century, due to non availaibility of motorable road, vehicles for travel and postal arrangements, people had to trek by foot if they want to visit Sringeri.
