Goddess Sharda was called the goddess of knowledge. Apart from Kashmiri Hindus, this holy pilgrimage place holds great importance for the followers of the Hindu religion.
It was not only an important religious place but also a huge educational center till the 12th century.
According to historians, the temple was built here during the Kushan Raj, but the current temple and education center was established during the time of Emperor Lalitaditya.
It was of great importance. Students from Bengal used to come here for education.
At present, there is a tradition among the Saraswat Brahmins of the South to walk seven steps towards Kashmir before starting education. It is seen by connecting it to Sharda Peeth.

At that time the foundation stone was laid. At the time of the Indo-Pak partition, the holy stick Mubarak used to leave for Sharda Peeth from the proposed temple construction site in Titwal.
