Hari Parbat

Also called: Sharika Parbat, Sharika Peeth, Koh-i-Maran, Pradyumna Peeth

The hill above old Srinagar, Sharika Parbat to the Pandits and Koh-i-Maran to others, held to be the pebble the Goddess dropped on the demon; it carries the Sharika temple and Shri Chakra, the Makhdoom Sahib shrine, the Chhevin Padshahi gurdwara, Akbar's wall of 1590 and the Durrani fort of 1808. Kashmiri Pandits climbed it on Navreh.
