Sharada Peeth, Archaeological ruins in Sharda, Pakistan
The temple structure features stone walls, rectangular layout, and traditional Kashmiri architectural elements rising near the Neelum River at 2,200 meters elevation.
The temple, built between the 6th and 12th centuries, served as a major Sanskrit learning center until its decline in the 14th century.
The site holds religious importance for Hindu devotees as one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas dedicated to goddess Saraswati.
The temple complex requires a permit for international visitors and remains accessible only during daylight hours through the Neelum Valley road.
The temple walls contain inscriptions in the Sharada script, an ancient writing system that originated in Kashmir and influenced regional calligraphy.
