Kashmir day2: Part one-

🧿
The Shankaracharya Temple or Jyeshteshwara Temple is a Hindu temple situated on top of the Shankaracharya Hill on the Zabarwan Range in Srinagar in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva. The temple is at a height of 1,000 feet (300 m) above the valley floor and overlooks the city of Srinagar.
Kashmiri Hindus strongly believe the temple was visited by Adi Shankara[17] and has ever since been associated with him; this is how the temple and hill got the name Shankaracharya.[18] It is here that the literary work Saundarya Lahari was composed.[18] It was composed by Adi Shankara after accepting the major faith in the region at the time, that of Shakti, and that the union of Shiva and Shakti, as in Shaktism, transpired into the symbolism of the Sri Yantra.
