Samadhi of Bodhendra Saraswathi, Hindu temple memorial in Govindapuram, India.
The Samadhi of Bodhendra Saraswathi features traditional Dravidian architectural elements with a central shrine marking the sacred burial location.
Built in 1692, this memorial marks the final resting place of Bodhendra Saraswathi, the 59th leader of Kanchi Matha who devoted his life to spiritual practices.
The memorial serves as a center for Hindu devotees who gather to perform ritualistic ceremonies and chant the name of Lord Rama following Bodhendra's teachings.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking a 6-kilometer drive from Kumbakonam along the Kumbakonam-Auduthurai highway, with regular bus services available.
The exact location of the memorial was discovered when a spiritual seeker heard the sound of Rama nama chanting emanating from the ground.
