Crocodile Ghat, popularly known as Muthala Kadavu, is regarded as the place where Sankara took sanyasam or initiated his ascetic life. According to legend, Sankara’s decision of taking sanyasa was not approved by his mother.
One day, Sankaracharya accompanied by his mother, went to take a bath in the River Poorna as he was touched by a dog. A crocodile caught his leg and while drowning in the water Sankara requested his mother to allow him to take sanyasa, as the crocodile would not leave him. It is believed that the crocodile left his leg as soon as his mother agreed.
