Shankracharya Temple in Srinagar ,Jammu & Kashmir , India.......!

The temple dates back to 200 BC, although the present structure probably dates back to the 9th century AD. It was visited by Aadhi Shankara and has ever since been associated with him; this is how the hill/temple got the name Shankaraharya. It is also regarded as sacred by Buddhists. The Shiva linggam was placed inside by Aadhi Shankaracharya on his visit to Kashmir.
