Sharada Peeth - Background
Sharda Peeth, or the Seat of Sharda, is thought to be an ancient center of learning established in Neelum Valley in 273 BC, even before the Takshila and Nalanda universities.
It is named after the goddess of wisdom Saraswati.
It is near the confluence of the Kishan Ganga and Mudhumati streams in Sharda village, Neelum Valley.
It was founded in 237 BC during the reign of Ashoka.
According to one account of the temple's construction, it was built during the reign of the Kushans (early 1st century).
Many accounts also claim that Buddhists were heavily involved in the Sharada region until Adi Shankaracharya took over.
While the university has always been popular, the annual pilgrimage to the temple thrived during the reigns of Maharaja Pratap Singh and Ranbir Singh.
Before the partition of India and Pakistan, Sharada Peeth was one of the three major shrines in the region, along with the Martand Sun Temple and the Amarnath Temple.
The shrine was abandoned after the two countries' 1947-48 war over Jammu and Kashmir, as it fell into PoK.

Sharada Peeth - Features
Sharada Peeth is an abandoned temple and ancient learning center dedicated to the Hindu goddess of learning, Sharada.
The temple complex was also home to Sharada University, one of the country's oldest universities, with over 5,000 scholars and a library.
The peeth is also a historical seat of learning, and it was formerly on par with Nalanda and Takshila's ancient sites of learning.
Along with teaching Buddhist religion, history, geography, structural science, logic, and philosophy were also taught.
This university had developed its own script, Sharada. There were 5,000 resident scholars at one point, and it also had the world's largest library.
This temple university-educated many famous scholars from India and neighboring countries. Few of them are:
Kalhana, a historian and author of Rajtarangini, a history book on Kashmir in Sanskrit;
Adi Shankara, a philosopher who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta;
Vairotsana, a Tibetan translator;
Kumarajiva, a Buddhist scholar and translator; and
Thonmi Sambhota, a Tibetan scholar who invented the Tibetan script.
Sharada Peeth is one of the 51 Shaktipeeths; Sati's right hand fell here when Bhagwan Vishnu cut her dead body into 51 pieces that fell in 51 different places.
The shrine was taken up by Pakistan after Partition in 1947.
Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, is 150 kilometers away, while Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, is 130 kilometers away.
Sharada is the "kuldevi" (principal deity) of Kashmiri Pandits. Many people refer to her as Kashmira Puravasini (resident of Kashmir).
