Why Sharada Peeth Ruins Sharda Matters
Cultural Heritage
The ancient Sharada Peeth, far from being merely a regional temple, served as a pivotal intellectual and spiritual nexus for Indic civilization, particularly during the Gurjara-Pratihara period. Its historical eminence is underscored by the legendary visit of Adi Shankara in the 8th century CE, who, according to tradition, opened the southern door of the temple after triumphing in philosophical debates with scholars representing diverse schools of thought from across Bharatavarsha. This event cemented its reputation as a paramount centre for Advaita Vedanta and a crucible for intellectual discourse, attracting savants and seekers alike. Furthermore, the Peeth's significance as one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas, where the right hand of Devi Sati is believed to have fallen, made it an indispensable pilgrimage destination for devotees of Shaktism throughout the subcontinent. The site was also instrumental in the development and propagation of the Sharada script, the indigenous writing system of Kashmir, which facilitated the preservation and transmission of vast bodies of Sanskrit literature, including philosophical treatises, poetic works, and tantric texts. Its mention by Al-Biruni in the 11th century further attests to its widespread recognition and enduring historical importance.
