Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat was among the several people who paid their last respects to the shankaracharya.
“The shankaracharya had great command over many subjects and his life was dedicated to Sanatan traditions. He always taught the society to tread the correct path,” he said.
