Shankaracharya temple is located on the Shankaracharya hill

The temple building was a ritual and every stone laid was consecrated to God by the holy chant of the Brahmins. Buddhism was introduced in Kashmir soon after the Buddha's demise and king Ashoka is said to have built stupas in the 3rd C.B.C. The Buddhist remains at Harwan, Hoina and Hutamer have revealed unique tiles depicting the fine workmanship.
