Wikimedia Commons · Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported · file A group of hagiographies associated with the four cardinal mathas places Shankara's death at Kedarnath, in the Himalayas. The site is one of several conflicting death-place traditions reported by the article. The article dates his death c. 750 CE; 750 is used as the supported year-level anchor. Death place is contested: the article also reports Kanchi, Kashmir, Kerala, and Ganges traditions. Coordinates represent Kedarnath town rather than a demonstrably exact death site.
