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.
