View of Shankaracharya Hill

by Labels:
Time: Minutes before 10 in the morning.


At around 1100 feet, Shankaracharya hill looms over the Srinagar city. Ancient name of the hill is Gopadri. More than 2000 year old shiv temple atop the hill is dedicated to a form of Shiva known as Jyesthesvar. Kashmiri Muslims call it "Takht-i-Sulaiman or the "Throne of Solomon". The tower is dedicated to television and is known a 'TV-Tower' and not Sulaiman or Solomon. The green minaret top belongs to a local mosque. Looking at the hill, the word 'valley' finds true meaning.
