 The Sugandhesa temple was constructed near Srinagar and was named after Sugandha, the wife to King Sankaravarman. The Sugandhesa temple bears resemblance in architecture to other Kashmiri temples. Sweeping over an area of 12 feet 7 inches square, the temple stands on a double base and has a portico in front. There are inscriptions and images cepicted on the recesses.
The entrance to the courtyard in on the eastern wall of the temple; on entering the courtyard, there are two chambers with a partition wall and a doorway on the middle. Architectural fragments scattered in the temple site is visible. The valance of the base of the peristyle resembles the structural wonder of the Avantiswamin Temple (the 9th century Kashmiri styled temple in Avantipur). The Sugandhesa temple can be smoothly approached from Baramulla by road; the nearest airport is Srinagar.
