Hari Parbat
ہاری پربت
A Durrani-era fort on the hilltop north of the Old City. At its base, Hindu, Islamic, and Sikh sacred sites come together, reflecting Kashmir's religious diversity.
The hilltop fort, Hari Parbat, was built in the 18th century by a governor of the Afghan Durrani dynasty. Akbar had earlier built a city wall at its foot during the Mughal period. On the hillside are a temple to the Hindu goddess Sharika, an Islamic shrine, and a Sikh gurdwara, reflecting the religious diversity of Kashmir. The fort has been opened to visitors in recent years, and from it you can look over the Old City and Dal Lake. It is lit at night. Opening hours depend on local arrangements.
