Know Your City, Jammu

The little Petrines of Grade 2 B highlighted the theme – Know Your City, Jammu in a scintillating maner. Jammu, the Duggar land where the past still has a living presence. A land of grand ancient temples, and beatiful palaces. It is said that, on becoming King, the Suryavanshi Jambu Lochan went on a hunt and, crossing the Tawi, found a deer and a tiger drinking water from the same tank. His ministers explained that this meant that the soil of the place was so virtuous that no living creature bore enmity against another. Raja Jambu Lochan, who lived in the later vedic period, decided to found his capital , Jambupura, on his soil. Jammu is justly famous for its temples. In fact, it is known as the city of temples. 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, which houses a rich collection of ancient texts and manuscripts. The temperature varies from cold in winter to heat wave in summers.
