Hari Parbat, also known as 'Koh-e-Maran', is a historic hill overlooking the city of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is considered a sacred site by Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs alike. The hill is crowned by the ancient Hari Parbat Fort, built during the Durrani Empire in the 18th century and later developed by the Sikh governor Gulab Singh in the 19th century. Adjacent to the fort is the revered Sharika Devi Temple, dedicated to the goddess Jagadamba. The hill is also home to the famous Makhdoom Sahib Shrine, a Sufi shrine that attracts pilgrims throughout the year. Yet another important religious site on Hari Parbat is the Sikh Gurudwara Chatti Patshahi. The hill offers panoramic views of Srinagar city and Dal Lake, making it a popular spot for locals and tourists seeking a spiritual and scenic experience.
