About Jammu - jammu tour packages
Jammu is justly famous for its temples.
Infact it is known as the city of temples and the every fame of its tends
to overshadow its palaces, forts, forests and powerful ziarats. If Bahu
Mata is the presiding deity of Jammu, the dargah of Peer Budhan Ali Shah
is the other shrine that protects Jammuites. The other major tourist attraction
is the Ragunath Temple Complex. Maharaja Gulab Singh began the construction
of the Raghunath Mandir Complex in the crowded downtown Bazaar named after
it, in 1851. It was left to his son, Ranbir Singh, to inagurate it six years
later perhaps the most popular temple north of Benares, it contains representations
of almost entire Hindu pantheon, though the emphassis falls on the various
incarnations of Lord Vishnu. The complex houses a rich collection of ancient
texts and manuscripts.
