The temple is located on the summit of the same name and is overlooking the town of Srinagar.
The temple dates back to 200 BC, although the present structure probably dates back to the 9th century AD. The temple was visited by the Adishankaracharya and has ever since been associated with him. The rest of the evening is at leisure. You can visit the local handicrafts shops where you can purchase locally handcrafted items – shawls, jackets, bed covers, paper mache, carpets and much more!
