What happened to the glorious temples of Kashmir after repeated plunders by foreign mercenaries? How much does the world know or care about the beautiful temples of Kashmir? Kashmir is not only the beauteous ‘heaven on earth’; it is also a victim of vandalism at the hands of intolerant fundamentalists. Innumerable holy caves, springs, shrines, and temples dotted the crown of India, most of which have been destroyed by plunderers or relegated to neglected oblivion by the majority. Through in-depth research, Sopory has attempted to set straight generations of misrepresented historical facts about Kashmir. She has brought forth the ancient and lost cultural and spiritual wealth of Kashmir that has over the centuries faced multiple attacks. Not only does this book chronicle the legacy of Kashmir’s temples, it raises a fervent plea for remedial action.

About Author
Author and an educator, she
wrote "Catching The Fading Ray”, which is a collection of folk tales
from her native place. They are a reflection of the rich cultural
reminiscence of the author’s formative years at her birthplace.
With her new book, "The Kashmir That Was" Avanti aspires to bring
the time when Kashmir was 'romanticized'. The book is a collection of
flashback moments where the unseen, unheard, unimagined side of Kashmir
converge to reveal a new facet of the erstwhile state.
Avanti’s co-authored book “Crossed and Knotted” is India’s first composite
novel which is listed with the Limca Book of Records. Her woman-centric short
story is featured in the anthology “Defiant Dreams” and the book is in record
with Commission on Status of Women, UN, and the Oprah Book Club. Her third
anthology “When They Spoke” has stories personifying inanimate objects. Her
short story is listed in the “The Readomania book of Mythology”.
Her opinion pieces are published in newspapers and on on-line platforms
like, “Women’s Web”, “Madras Courier”. She is a fellow at ‘The Way of Writing
with Natalie Goldberg”. She muses on her blog “undermynose.in”
Writing to her is an unruffled world of her own, where her creations and
people come to life. She hopes to travel to the hinterlands of India to
understand the people, their way of life and their socio-cultural mooring
