Parihaspore, Archaeological site in Baramulla district, India.

Located on a plateau near the Jhelum River, Parihaspore contains stone ruins of temples, residential structures, and administrative buildings from ancient times.

The town served as Kashmir's capital during the reign of Lalitaditya Muktapida between 695 and 731 CE, featuring temples dedicated to Vishnu and Parihaskesana.

The site holds numerous carved stones and architectural elements that demonstrate the advanced construction techniques and religious practices of medieval Kashmir.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through guided tours from Baramulla city, with the best viewing conditions occurring during daylight hours.

The local population refers to Parihaspore as Kani Shahar, meaning City of Stones, due to the numerous carved boulders scattered across the landscape.
