Introduction and History in Brief
Near Srinagar’s Hari Parbat, also known as Sharika Hari Har Parbat… both Hindus and Muslims mourn a city changed forever, a home they all lost. Both say “some forces” made ordinary people from the two communities fear each other.Overlooking Srinagar is Hari Parbat, a hill home to a fort, a temple, a gurdwara and a dargah. The temple here is dedicated to Jagdamba Sharika Bhagwati, considered the presiding deity of Srinagar.
Rolled-up concertina wires lie on the long flight of stairs leading up to the temple. A CRPF jawan proffers a register, where one must note down their name and phone number before entering the temple. Inside, on the afternoon of February 16, around 10-15 people are busy with kirtan. It is a few days before Shivratri, and the temple is gearing up for the festival.
Hari Parbat is a hill where Sharika Devi Temple is located. Widely popular for Goddess Jagadamba Sharika Bhagwati having 18 arms, it is one of the ancient and sacred places in Kashmir where a large number of devotees gather on the day of Sharika Jayanti. They offer Teher-Charvan to the goddess and later on distribute it as Prasaad. Devotees of Sharika Devi visit this shrine regularly on Navratra week.
It is believed that Hari Parbat is a reverse of the pebble thrown by Goddess Parvati to prevent inhabitants from demon Jalobhava. The temple is opened on all days from 9:30 to 5:30 and a pass is required from the tourism department to enter the place.
