Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri

New temple for Goddess Sharada in Kashmir

Sringeri February 3, 2022

It is well-known that Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya consecrated Goddess Sharada at Sringeri while establishing the Dakshinamnaya Peetham and towards the end of His Digvijaya Yatra, ascended the Sarvajna Peetham of Goddess Sharada at Kashmir.

Goddess Sharada has been revered in Kashmir since time immemorial and is referred to by the epithet, “Kaashmira-pura-vaasini”. 

On February 3, 2022, Sri Ravinder Pandita of Sharada Yatra ( Sarvajna Peeth) Temple Committee, Kashmir had Darshan of Sringeri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam, and received blessings for the construction of a new Goddess Sharada temple at the town of Teetwal near the LoC in Kashmir. Teetwal on the banks of the Kishanganga river was traditionally one of the places from which the annual Yatra to the Sarvajna Peetham of Goddess Sharadamba in Kashmir would commence.
