'''Sri Sharadamba Temple''' (ಶೃಂಗೇರಿ ಶಾರದಾಂಬೆ) is a temple dedicated to the Hindu goddess [[Saraswati|Sharadamba]]{{Source needed|date=May 2025}} in the town of [[Sringeri]] in Karnataka, India, on the [[Tungabhadra River|Tunga]] river.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Thiruvambadi Sri Krishna Temple, Kerala - Info, Timings, Photos, History |url=https://www.templepurohit.com/hindu-temple/thiruvambadi-sri-krishna-temple-kerala/ |access-date=2025-05-20 |website=TemplePurohit - Your Spiritual Destination {{!}} Bhakti, Shraddha Aur Ashirwad |language=en-US}}</ref><br />

The Sharadamba Temple is an 8th-century temple, established by [[Adi Shankara]], who also established his first Peetham and monastery at the site. The temple is part of the larger complex called [[Sringeri Sharada Peetham]], which is the southern cardinal monastery established by Shankara. The other four are located in [[Dwarka]] (West), [[Puri]] (East) and [[Jyotirmath]] (North).<br />
During Third Anglo-Mysore war (1791), this Shringeri temple was destroyed by Pindaris. When Tipu Sultan (Mysore Ruler of that time) heard of this incident, he was deeply angered. Despite being a Muslim ruler, he respected the Math and the Jagadguru. He immediately wrote letters of sympathy to the Sringeri Shankaracharya, offering protection, money, and gifts to restore the temple.<br />
