The Shankaragaurishvara Temple is a 9th century Hindu temple attributed to the Utpala dynasty. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva and located in Pattan, in the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The temple was built by king Shankaravarman of the Utpala dynasty of Kashmir, who ruled between 883 and 902 AD.[1]
The temple is in a dilapidated condition and worship is no longer conducted. It is built in a style similar to the Shankaracharya Temple.[2] It is listed as one of the more than 15 important temples for promotion of tourism in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.[3]
