Vacation in Srinagar - Gem Of Kashmir

                                                  Sightseeing Spots at Srinagar- Kashmir 


                                                         Shankaracharya Temple : 





Shankracharya Temple, is situated on the top of the Shankaracharya hill or the Sulaiman Hill  in the Zabarwan Mountain in Srinagar Kashmir. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is on the summit of the same name at a height of 1,000 feet (300 m) above the plain and overlooks the city of  Srinagar.

The temple dates back to 200 BC, although the present structure probably dates back to the 9th century AD. It was visited by Adi Shankara and has ever since been associated with him; this is how the temple got the name Shankaracharya. It is also regarded as sacred by Buddhist. The Shiv Ling was placed inside during the Sikh period in nineteenth century and it became an active Hindu temple when regular services were conducted.

Persians and Jews call it Bagh-i- sulaiman or the Garden of King Solomon. Persian inscriptions are also found inside the temple.

The Jyoteshware temple ( Shankaracharya Temple) rests on a solid rock. A 20-foot tall octagonal base supports a square building on top. The terrace around the square temple is reached by a stone staircase enclosed between two walls. A doorway on the opposite side of the staircase leads to the interior, which is a small and dark chamber, circular in plan. The ceiling is supported by four octagonal columns, which surround a Basin containing a Lingam encircled by a snake.
