Why Sharda Peeth Neelum Valley Matters

Cultural Heritage

Sharda Peeth emerged as a paramount center of learning during the Karkota Dynasty's ascendancy, particularly from the 6th century CE. This *Mahavihara*, dedicated to Saraswati, was instrumental in the development and propagation of the Sharda script, an Indic script that became the primary medium for Sanskrit texts across Kashmir and parts of Central Asia. Its intellectual environment fostered profound scholarship in grammar, philosophy, astronomy, and medicine, attracting savants from across the subcontinent. The site's strategic location along ancient pilgrimage and trade routes further amplified its influence, making it a crucible for the exchange of ideas and a beacon of Hindu intellectual tradition in the northwestern reaches of Bharatavarsha. Beyond its role in script development, Sharda Peeth was a pivotal seat for the flourishing of Kashmir Shaivism, a non-dualistic philosophical system that profoundly shaped Hindu thought. Under the Karkota rulers, particularly during the reign of Lalitaditya Muktapida, the *Peeth* received extensive royal patronage, enabling its expansion and solidifying its reputation as a premier institution. Historical accounts, including those by Al-Biruni, attest to its stature as a revered pilgrimage site and a hub of intellectual discourse. The eventual destruction and abandonment of the complex, likely in the medieval period following successive invasions, marked a tragic loss for Indic civilization, severing a vital link in the continuous transmission of knowledge.
