The valley of Kashmir is well-known throughout the world for its Natural beauty. Here nature has been prodigal enough in crowning this ancient land with all its splendor and glory complimented beautifully by the unparalleled heritage of the breathtaking #KashyapKaKashmir ! (1/16)
The sacred valley called Rishi wari till now, abounds in sacred places, Tirthas and Asthans. Long ago at the dawn of civilisation when the sons of Rishi Kashyapa from plains came to settle here they brought with them their traditions, religion, mythology etc. etc. (2/16)
The civilisational history of the Kashmir Valley is reflected through its temples — those that stand magnificently today after thousands of years of their construction, and remnants of others that were destroyed by invaders. (3/16) #KashyapKaKashmir .@LostTemple7

He’s attributed to have come up with an original thought of one can attain ‘Mukti’ even while living a life of a ‘Gruhasta’. Though, not much is known about his life, however according to information available on internet, Abhinavgupta had as many as 19 gurus.

#KashyapKaKashmir
Today on Margashirsha, Krishna paksha Pratipada, kashmir was founded by Mahrshi Kashyap. We recall and honour our great Ancestors and recall the spiritual backbone of our Samskriti, our temples and what state has they been reduced to.
