The Śāradā (also spelled Sarada or Sharada) script is an Indian Brahmic script that was used widely between the 8th and 12th centuries in the northwestern parts of Indian subcontinent (in Kashmir and neighbouring areas), for writing Sanskrit and Kashmiri.[1][2][3] The Sharada script emerged in Kashmir and adjoining areas.[2]
It is named after the goddess Śāradā or Saraswati, the goddess of learning and the main Hindu deity of the Sharada Peeth temple in the Kashmiri region.[4]
