Jammu Introduction


Jammu Vaishno Devi Srinagar Ladakh

Jammu Amongst the three regions of Jammu & Kashmir State, Jammu, perhaps, offers the widest diversity of terrain and beauty. The entire region is pocketed with lakes and valleys, some still little explored. The foundation of the settlement of Jammu is attributed to King Jambulochan of the 9th century BC. In 1730 AD, it came under the Dogra rule of Raja Dhruv Deva and Jammu became an important centre for arts and culture, now renwned as the Pahari School. Religion, too, played an important part in its development, so beautifully evidenced in its various shrines and temples spread throughout the region.

Raghunath Temple 
Raghunath Temple, which is surrounded by one of the largest temple complexes in northern India. Its interior covered with gold leaf, the temple is dedicated to Rama, the eighth incarnation of lord Vishnu. 


Dogra Art Gallery

Bahu Fort
Bahu Fort, 5 km, on the opposite bank of the Tawi river is undoubtedly the oldest monument in Jammu while the Amar Mahal Palace claims first prize as the oddest. Designed for an eccentric maharaja by a French architect, the Amar Mahal resembles a medieval chateau, complete with turrets. 

The Mansar Lake 
The Mansar Lake, with its shrine to a local goddess, is a wonderful oasis in the dry hills
