Sharda Temple

Sharda Temple in ruins
at Sardi (PoK)
The ancient temple of Sharada is located in
Neelam (Kishanganga) valley just beyond the line of control in Pakistan
occupied Kashmir. The temple is located in a small village called Shardi
near the confluence of Kishanganga and Madhumati rivers. As far as I can
gather from my maps, its location seems to be 74.2 E and 34.8 N. It is
located northwest of the Wular lake about 40 miles as the crow flies. Another
way of getting an idea of its location note that Kishanganga and Vitasta (Jhelum) meet in
Muzzafarabad. Shardi and Sopore are about the same distance
from Muzzafarabad along two different rivers.
