Sharda Peeth

Sharda Peeth is an ancient Hindu and Buddhist educational center and temple located in the Himalayas, in present-day Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Historically, it was one of the world's most renowned centers for learning, especially in philosophy, mathematics, and arts, dating back over a thousand years. The site also housed a significant temple dedicated to the goddess Sharda. Over time, its prominence declined due to invasions and political changes. Today, Sharda Peeth remains a symbol of India's rich scholarly heritage and cultural history, and efforts are ongoing to preserve and recognize its historical significance.
