SACRED COLUMNS
Sharda Temple, Neelum Valley, Azad Jammu & Kashmir

These ruins were once part of a busy temple complex dedicated to the Hindu goddess Sharda Devi, and were a sacred site for Hindu pilgrims. The temple is located in the village of Sharda, once a seat of learning for Hindu and Buddhist scholars.
