Kashmir Sharada Temple at Teetwal - Varshika Abhisheka (June 22-25, 2024) Episode 1

There is a unique and profound connection between the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham in Sringeri and the Sarvajna Peetham in Kashmir. Kashmir is renowned as the place of Maharshi Kashyapa’s Tapas. Sringeri is significant as the place where Maharshi Kashyapa’s son, Maharshi Vibhandaka, and his grandson, Maharshi Rishyashringa, performed their Tapas.
Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada established the idol of Kashmirapura-vasini Sri Sharadamba at Sringeri and ascended the Sharada Sarvajna Peetham in Kashmir.
With the blessings of Sringeri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, Jagadguru Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam conducted the Prana-Pratishtha Kumbhabhisheka of Sri Sharada at Teetwal in Kashmir on Jyestha Krishna Pratipat (June 5, 2023).

In accordance with the ancient traditions of the Agama, the Sringeri Math, in collaboration with the Save Sharada Committee organised the annual celebration (Varshika Abhisheka) of this historic Kumbhabhisheka at Teetwal from June 22-25, 2024.
After several centuries, the tradition of Shastrartha (scriptural debates) is experiencing a revival in the region of the Sarvajna Peetham in Kashmir, with discussions focusing on darshana-shastra-vichara. This event honoured the rich cultural heritage of Kashmir and strengthened the roots of Sanatana Dharma in the region.
Over the four-day period, numerous dharmic activities took place, including special Abhishekas, Pujas, Homas (Havans), Chaturveda Parayana, recitations of various Shastra texts, hymn chanting, scholarly lectures, debates, and discussions.
