There exists a unique and profound spiritual connection between the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham at Sringeri and the ancient Sharada Sarvajna Peetham in Kashmir. Kashmir is revered as the sacred land where Maharshi Kashyapa performed intense Tapas, while Sringeri is sanctified by the Tapas of Maharshi Vibhandaka, the son of Maharshi Kashyapa, and his illustrious son, Maharshi Rishyashringa. It was Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada who established the idol of Kashmirapura-vasini Sri Sharadamba at Sringeri and later ascended the Sharada Sarvajna Peetham in Kashmir, thereby forging an eternal spiritual bond between these two sacred kshetras.

With the blessings of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam performed the Pratishtha Kumbhabhisheka of Sri Sharada at Teetwal, Kashmir, on Jyeshtha Krishna Pratipat (June 5, 2023). Continuing this sacred tradition, the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, in association with the Save Sharada Committee, organised the Third Varshikotsava of the Sri Sharada Pranapratishtha Kumbhabhisheka at Teetwal on June 30, 2026.

On 28th and 29th June, 2026, Scholars representing all branches of the Vedas and Shastras from across Bharat assembled to participate in Veda and Shaastra Sabha took place at Kheer Bhavani Temple, Tikker.

The programme commenced with Kishan Ganga Nadi Puja, during which sacred water was collected from the river for the Abhisheka. Thereafter, inside the Garbhagriha, Guru Vandana, Sankalpa, Ganapati Puja, and Punyaha were performed. This was followed by the Saraswati Homa, Special Abhisheka to Jagadamba Sri Sharada, Sahasranama Archana, Naivedya and Mangalarati.

The celebrations also featured Chaturveda Seva and Shaastrartha Seva, highlighting the timeless Vedic and Shastric traditions preserved by the Sringeri Sharada Peetham.
