	Temple History:

	After his advent in the seventh century and mission to establish the Advaita philosophy, He established the first mutt on the banks of Tunga River in Sringeri in Karnataka state and installed Mother Sharada Devi. The mutt drew devotees from all corners of the country. Among them was an industrialist from Coimbatore, who met Peetathipathi Holiness Sri Abhinava Vidya Theeratha Maha Swamigal and sought His blessings to build a Sharada temple in this city. Meantime, a philanthropist Sulur Nanjunda Iyer of the city also came to Sringeri seeking His blessings. When Swamiji asked him for land for the temple, Iyer readily offered one acre land in the posh Race Course area. With the co-operation of devotee public, the temple came into being majestically. All expenses were borne by the industrialist. The consecration of the temple took place on the Sashti day of the new moon fortnight of Karthikai month (November-December) in the year 1979.
