Shankar Viman Mandapam

The majestic Shankar Viman Mandapam, popularly known as the Shankaracharya Temple, is situated in the Indian holy city of Prayagraj. It serves as evidence of the area’s extensive cultural and religious legacy.

The beginnings of Shankar Viman Mandapam’s history, which spans millennia, are profoundly steeped in Hindu mythology and Adi Shankaracharya’s teachings. The respected philosopher and theologian Adi Shankaracharya promoted the Advaita Vedanta school of thought. It is thought that he went to Prayagraj and meditated there.

A group of devoted devotees started building Shankar Viman Mandapam some decades ago. The temple was created as a memorial to Adi Shankaracharya’s teachings and as a place of prayer for his devotees. It still exists as a magnificent monument and a testament to commitment.
