Inderkoot the Historical place
Anderkote is one of Kashmir’s oldest villages. In fact, at one point of time, it was capital of the state of Kashmir. It has witnessed some of the worst battles in the most crucial phase of Kashmir history.
Anderkote was originally built as Inderkote. It was settled by the Hindu king, Jayapida who, according to Kalhana ruled Kashmir somewhere around 798 AD. He had named it Jayapura.
More than his creation, the Hindu king was an interesting character. A great-grandchild of prominent Hindu ruler Laltadatiya, the builder, Jayapida was trying to compete with his popularity. Soon after he took over, he gave throne into the custody of his confidants and left for conquering world. He spent some years outside Kashmir, during which his army of 80,000 deserted him. He eventually married and became a soldier of his father-in-law and eventually returned home.
Back home, his “confidant”, his own brother-in-law, had replaced him literally. The king had to fight a serious battle to kill his brother-in-law for reclaiming the throne. But that transition converted him into a despot.
During the close of his reign, he had become so unpopular that he emerged as a ruthless ruler. This led Brahmans of Kashmir to go for a sort of Satyagraha to seek divine intervention and that is, what Kalhana tells us, led to his death.

Jayapura is Anderkote and this discovery was made by Prof Buhlrr during his tour in 1875. Then, he found the village having one of its parts located on the banks of a lake. He also located ruins of some temples. Kalhana says that this town had a castle that “equalled the heaven”.
