Sacred Mission

Reviving Kashmir's Ancient Heritage

Vijeshwar Devasthan Trust (Regd.) is dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and revival of the ancient Hindu temples and shrines of Bijbehara, Anantnag — an area known in antiquity as Vijeshwara, one of Kashmir's most sacred zones, mentioned in Rajatarangini, Nilmata Purana and Vijeshwara Mahatmya.

Since 2023 the Trust has actively undertaken restoration work at Chota Amarnath Thajiwara, re-established the Annual Yatra, and is advocating for Government restoration of the Vijeshwar Temple and other shrines.
