Shankaracharya Temple, built by Jaluka, the son of Emperor Ashoka around 200 BC, is an ancient shrine located on the mount Shankaracharya Hill in Srinagar.
This site, situated at a height of about 1100 feet above the city, is believed to be a sacred one and offers splendid view of the down valley and the snowy mountains of the Pir Panjal range.
Local folks tell a story that saint Shankaracharya spent some of his time at this site during his visit to Kashmir to revitalize Sanatan Dharma.
