WELCOME TO SHARADA NURSING INSTITUTE

    Nestling amidst the thick evergreen forests of the Western Ghats, Sringeri is known for its pristine beauty, historical and spiritual eminence. It derives its name from the famous sage Rishyashringa, a legend, who brought relief from draught to the kingdom of Anga.  Sage Rishyasringa , was borne here and did penance in the nearby Kigga, again a holy place. Hallowed for all times by Sage Rishyashringa who stayed and performed Tapas here, Sringeri attracted the great Sri Adi Shankaracharya with a remarkable sight. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada established the first of the four Amnaya Peethams at Sringeri more than twelve centuries ago to foster the sacred tradition of Sanatana Dharma.
