Zeashta Devi Shrine, Hindu shrine in Zaethyar, Srinagar, India

The Zeashta Devi Shrine stands at 1,700 meters elevation on Gopadri hill, near the eastern shore of Dal Lake's Gagri Bal section.

King Gopaditya constructed the original Jyeshtarudra Temple in the 6th century, followed by King Lalitaditya's renovation during the 8th century.

The shrine transforms into a gathering point during the Jyesht Ashtami festival in May and June when Kashmiri Pandits perform the annual maha yagya.

Visitors can reach the shrine between 9 AM and 4 PM by car or autorickshaw, with most people arriving around 11 AM on Mondays and Thursdays.

Archaeological discoveries of ancient Lingas near the site indicate its evolution from a Shiva temple to a major Shakti peeth over centuries.
