SRINAGAR - SANKARACHARYA SIVA MANDIR

This ancient Siva temple built atop a hillock surrounded by greenery, affords a thrilling experience throughout the ascent on the flight of stairs, broad and long. The hallowed mandir built in a circular fashion looks grand. The tall, big marble Siva linga consecreted by Adi Sankara lifts the soul beyond description. During the circumambulation ritual itself, one experiences inexplicable joy, and on completion of the floral offerings standing in front of it, he feels reaching Kailas, the seat of Siva. The spacious lawns in front and small buildings built for the convenience of yatris amidst colorful plants detain the visitors and relieve the fatigue of ascent by their intrinsic charms. It can be reached by bus from the city.

There are some more Sivaalayas in the city like Kameswar Sivalinga etc., that are visit -- worthy.
