After 36 years, the Sharda Mata Mandir in Kupwara has finally been restored. This is a major victory against neglect, invasions, and the loss of cultural heritage. The mandir, which had been silent for almost 40 years, has now been revived.
The Prana Pratishtha ceremony was held, bringing life back to the sacred place where people had once prayed. This restoration is a powerful symbol of the community’s return to their heritage. The Sharda Mata Mandir, which has been silent for almost 40 years, was brought back to life through the Prana Pratishtha ceremony. This ceremony revived the sacred place where prayers had once been heard.
The mandir has a long history, dating back to 237 BC, when it was first built by Emperor Ashoka and later expanded by Maharaja Gulab Singh in the 19th century. It was once a center of knowledge and devotion but was damaged over time due to invasions, neglect, and apathy. Now, after many years, the mandir is restored and alive again.
