FAQs On Sri Malayala Brahma Temple

Sringeri, Karnataka, India
The Sri Malayala Brahma Temple is a small but highly significant shrine located within the main Sringeri Sharada Peetham complex. The deity, locally known as Malayala Brahma, is revered as the Kshetra Palaka (protector or guardian) of the Sringeri Mutt and the surrounding area. The legend associated with the temple tells the story of a Brahmana scholar from Kerala (Malayala means Kerala) who was cursed to become a Brahma Rakshasa (a type of spirit) for refusing to share his profound knowledge. The renowned Jagadguru Sri Vidyaranya, the 12th Shankaracharya and founder of the Vijayanagara empire, freed the spirit from the curse and directed him to reside at Sringeri as the Kshetra Palaka. The idol of the deity is depicted carrying a mace (Gada) and wearing Padaraksha (sandals), installed near the door of the Sharadamba Temple to signify his role as the eternal caretaker. Devotees offer pooja to ward off evil eyes (Drishti) and fear.
