We went to these two places in the month of Oct 2006. I have uploaded few pictures, check it out. The place Shringeri is around 8 hours from Bangalore, situated on the banks of the river Tunga and at the foot of the Sahya Mountain - a part of the Western Ghats, in Chikmagalur district of Karnataka. is the site of the first maþha established by Adi Shankaracharya.
Sringeri is home to a number of historic temples. Of these, Sri Sharadamba temple and Sri Vidyashankara temple are very prominent. Hornadu - Set amidst enchanting natural scenery, Hornadu is 100 kms southwest of Chikmagalur and has an ancient temple of Annapoorneshwari, which has been renovated recently. With the installation of the new image of Adi Shakti, now the temple is called Adi-Shaktyatmaka Shri Annapoorneshwari. The place attracts lots of pilgrims who are provided free boarding and lodging by the temple.
