Parihaspora town, located 26 km from Srinagar, is one of the popular tourist destinations of Baramula. The city was the capital of Kashmir during the reign of King Shankar Varman. This old city was found in the 8th century by the then King Lalitaditya Muktapid of Kashmir. Baramulla is particularly noted for its ancient monuments such as Pattan Bazar and Parihaspora Pattan. In this city, tourists can also visit the remains of a Buddhist stupa and a monastery. The excavation scheme started at Parihaspora in 1914 led to the discovery of Raj Bhavan, some Vishnu temples and Chaitya, Buddhist, and Jain temples.All these excavated structures represent the architectural style of ancient times.
