Sharada Peeth
Sharada Peeth (IAST: Śārada Pīṭh, Urdu: ), located in the village of Sharda in Azad Kashmir. It is situated near the Line of Control which divides Pakistani-Administered Azad Kashmir from Indian-Administered Jammu and Kashmir. The temple dedicated to the goddess Sarasvatī (Sharda) is on the banks of Neelum River in Azad Kashmir. Kashmir was once centre of learning of Hindu Vedic works until the region was almost completely Islamized by wandering mystics, known as Sufis, who proselytized in the region after arriving from Iran and Central Asia between the 12th and 17th centuries. Prior to this, Kashmir was sometimes called Sharada Desh because of this temple and Sharada was called Kashmira Puravasini (''resident of city of Kashmir''). Kashmiri Hindus remain highly devoted towards this deity, and by extension, to the Sharada Peeth temple.〔 As part of their daily worship, Kashmiri Hindus utter the phrase" ''"Namastey Sharada Devi Kashmir Pur Vasini Tvam Ham Prartheye Nityam Vidya Danam Che De hi mey"'' (Salutations to you, O Sharada, O Goddess, O one who resides in Kashmir. I pray to you daily, please give me the charity of knowledge).
The temple had periodically fallen into disrepair by the 14th century, and was last repaired by Maharaja Gulab Singh of Kashmir in the 19th Century.〔() 〕 Following the brief 1948 war in the region between Pakistan and India, the site came under control of Pashtun tribesmen who invaded the region in order to prevent its annexation by India. Control was then passed to the newly formed rebel government of Azad Kashmir. The site was heavily damaged in the 2005 earthquake which struck the region, and has not been repaired since that time by the government of Pakistan. Pakistani Hindus rarely visit the temple, preferring to visit sites farther south in Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab provinces. As such, restoration of the temple is not considered a priority in the manner that Katasraj Temple was regarded by the Pakistani government.
==The Temple as a "Shakti Peeth"==
(詳細はShakti Peethas are shrines or divine places of Shakti formed due to the falling of body parts of the corpse of Sati Devi, when Shiva carried it and wandered throughout Aryavartha in sorrow. There are 51 Shakti Peeth linking to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit. Each temple has shrines for Shakti and Kalabhairava. Sharada Peeth is one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peetha. Devi's Right hand is said to have fallen here. The Shakti worshiped here is the goddess of knowledge and education, Saraswathi otherwise known as Sarada. ''The mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati's self immolation'' had immense significance in shaping the ancient Sanskrit literature and even had cultural impact in India during olden times. It led to the development of the concept of Shakti Peethas and there by strengthening Shaktism. Enormous mythological stories in puranas took the Daksha yaga as the reason for its origin. It is an important incident in Shaivism and Shaktism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kottiyoordevaswom.com/ )〕
