'''కాలడి''' ([[మళయాలం]]: കാലടി) [[కేరళ]] రాష్ట్రంలో [[పెరియార్ నది]] ఒడ్డున [[ఎర్నాకుళం]] జిల్లాలోని పల్లెటూరు. ఇక్కడే శ్రీ [[ఆది శంకరాచార్యుడు]] (Adi Sankara) జన్మించాడు. ఇదొక హిందూ పుణ్యక్షేత్రము.

[[Adi Shankara]] was born in Kalady as the only son of Sivaguru and Aryamba, a [[Namboothiri]] couple. Shankara's shrine at Kalady, run by the [[Sringeri]] Mutt, is a large, partly open structure situated on the northern bank of the river [[Periyar]], or Purna. There are two major shrines in the temple; one is dedicated to Sri Sankaracharya and the other to Goddess Saradamba, the main deity of Sringeri. The samadhi of Sri Sankara's mother, Aryamba, is also located here. A small shrine to [[Vinayaka]], or [[Ganapati]], is the scene of evening prayers, chanted to the rhythmic ringing of cymbals. The worship in these temples is done by [[Tamil people|Tamil]] or [[Kannada Smartha]] [[Brahmin]]s, and not by [[Nampoothiri]]s.

Several large statues of Ganapati, Adi Sankara, and others are also housed in this memorial. Adi Sankara's shrines in Kalady are open to all pilgrims, irrespective of religion and [[caste]].

To the west of the Sringeri Mutt temple complex is a temple dedicated to Sri [[Krishna]]. This temple is known as the ancestral deity of Sree Sankara Acharya. It is mentioned as the Kula deva (ancestral deity) in verse 243 of Prabodha Sudhakaram of Sree Sankara Acharya. The temple is under Kalady Devasthanam, in trusteeship of two Namboothiri families who had close associations with the life of Sankara. It is also the only surviving structure from the time of Sankara. The worship in this temple is also conducted by Namboothiris, unlike in Shankara<ref>http://www.thrikkaladyappan.org</ref>.
===మాణిక్యమంగళం కాత్యాయిని దేవాలయం===
One kilometre north of Kalady is the [[Manickamangalam]] temple, dedicated to Bhagavathi or the goddess Durga. The father of Sree Sankara Shiva Sharman Namboodiri was the priest in this temple.
According to legend, one day he could not go by himself, so he sent Sankara with a measure of milk as an offering to Devi. Little Sankara noticed that even after the offering, the measure of milk before Devi remained unchanged. He was sad and started to cry, so Devi took pity on the boy and drank the milk. References to the deity can be found in [[Soundarya Lahari]].
===మట్టూరు తిరువెల్లమన్ తుల్లి శివాలయం===
Vellamanthulli temple is two kilometres west of Kalady. It is believed that Siva Sarman Namboodiri, father of Sree Sankara, installed the deity here.
According to legend, as the parents of Sree Sankara got older, they could not walk the distance to worship in the nearest temple. however, they still wanted to have [[darshan]] of the Lord. Shiva appeared in a dream, and he suggested that Sarman Nambudiri follow a dancing white deer that would appear before his house the next day. Shiva promised the deer would lead him to an idol and disappear, saying he could worship the idol, and not walk the long distance to the temple. This Siva temple was named ''Thiru Vella Man Thulli'', or "dancing white deer."
===నయతోడు శంకరనారాయణ దేవాలయం===
Nayathodu Sankara Narayana Temple, 3 km west of Kalady, is an example of Advaitam in worship by Sankara Acharya. According to legend, once Sree Sankara prayed Vishnu in this Shiva temple, Vishnu also came to reside in same idol. To this day, after offerings are made to Shiva, everything is removed and offerings are made to the same idol for Vishnu.
===తెక్కె మధోం===
Thekke Madhom is just adjacent to Sri Krishna Temple. It was founded by Sree Sankara Acharya at Trichur.
To pay respect to Sree Sankara Acharya, this Mutt was given special [[Archana]] rights at Sri Krishna Temple, the temple of the ancestral deity of Sankara, in [[825]] CE. To facilitate this leasehold property (''Kana Pattam''), lands were provided by Kalady Devaswom. This Mutt was given kingship rights in Kalady in [[1730]], thus marking the area of Sankara Sanketham. This was the only Mutt of Sree Sankara tradition for centuries that respected Kalady and sanctified it.
In modern times, the area is leased by the Sree Sringeri Mutt, which also runs a Vedic school there.
