Kodachadri
Kodachadri is a mountain peak (altitude
- 1343 m above sea level) in the Western Ghats in South India
(Karnataka). The name is a corruption of the Sanskrit word "Kutakachalam".
Kodachadri forms a picturesque background to the famous temple of
Mookambika in Kollur. Situated in the middle of the Mookambika
National Park, it is home to several endemic and endangered species of
flora and fauna. Tha rain forests loom in a perpetual layer of mist
around the peak.
This peak is where 'Shankaracharya' did
meditation. You will find a 'Sarvajna Peetha' of Sri Shankaracharya at
the top. Adi-Mookambika temple at Kodachadri village is believed to be
the 'moola sthana' (the origin) of 'Sri Mookambika Devi'.
It is also an excellent location
for Trekkers and backpackers
