    The statue is a quick, free stop that lets you see the main shrine and the surrounding gardens. After that you can walk to the nearby Sri Adi Shankara Ashrama, which has a small library and a quiet meditation area, or head into the town centre to explore the local market stalls where you’ll find fresh coconut water and local sweets. Both spots fit comfortably into a two hour window.
