About Us
Kashmir's association with Hinduism is very old. The very name Kashmir is said to be derived from Kashyapa, one of the seven Rishis in Hindu mythology. Most Kashmiri Pandits are devout Shaivites, however many Kashmiri Pandit families who had migrated into other Indian territories have been ardent Vaishnavites as well. Kashmir is home to some of the holiest shrines in Hinduism like Amarnath, Kheer Bhawani, Shrine of Sharada,devout Shaivites, however many Kashmiri Pandit families who had migrated into other Indian territories have been ardent Vaishnavites as well.

History
Tradition has it that once the valley of Kashmir was a big lake called the Satisar i.e. the lake of Sati (Durga). In it dwelt numerous Pishachas, Yakshas and Nagas headed by a ferocious demon whose name was Jaldeo or Jaludhar. (Prajapati) Kashyapa, a great sage, son of Marichi and grandson of Brahma (the creator of the whole universe according to the Hindu Pantheon), practised penance for a long time. The Gods Druhina, Upendra and Rudra felt compassion for him. At last the goddess Sharika (the guardian deity of many) moved by pity appeared in the form of a sparrow carrying in her beak a pebble
