Sankaraabharanam ("The Jewel of Shiva") (1979) is a musical film in the Telugu language, directed by Dr. K. Viswanath and produced by Poornodaya Art Creations. It is widely considered to have caused a renaissance in both Telugu and Indian films.

Viswanath gained national acclaim for this film, which triggered a sequence of other art movies in Telugu, including Thyagayya (by Bapu), Meghasandesam (by Dasari N. Rao), and Viswanath's own follow-ups to Sankaraabharanam: Saagara Sangamam, Sruthi Layalu, Swarna Kamalam, and Swathi Kiranam.

The movie is about a maestro of Carnatic music who dedicates his life to music. He becomes a victim of western on-slaught of Indian culture and tradition. However he succeeds in passing on the priceless tradition to a worthy inherent.
