Amongst the temples in the city, the Raghunath Mandir takes the pride of place, being situated right in the heart of Jammu. It consists of a cluster of temples, which makes it the largest temple complex in Northern India. The inner sanctums of the temples contain gigantic statues of Gods and Goddesses and numerous 'Lingams'. It contains representatives of almost the entire Hindu Pantheon, which makes it a rare sight to see.

The famous temple of "Bawey Wali Mata' is inside the Bahu Fort, where every Tuesday and Sunday, pilgrims throng and jostle one another to worship the Goddess. A little further away, on a hilltop opposite the Bhu Fort, is a lovely spot overlooking the river Tawi, where a temple dedicated to Mahamaya has been constructed. 

It is said that if Bawey Wali Mata is the presiding deity of Jammu, the Dargah o Peer Budhan Ali Shah (Peer Baba) is the other shrine that protects its people from mishaps and evil spirits. A friend of Guru Gobind Singh, Peer Baba lived all his life on milk alone and was 500 years old when he died. On Thursdays, you can find Hindu and Sikh devotees vastly out-numbering their Muslim brethren at this shrine; such is the faith that people have in the Peer baba. Most VIPs make it a point to visit this Dargah when they come Jammu.

The Peer Kho Cave Temple, overlooking the Tawi river, the Panchbakhtar Temple and the Ranbireshwar Temple are the other well known Shiva temples in Jammu. Each has its own legend, its devotees and specific days of worship. In Ranbireshwar Temple, there are 12 Shiva "Lingams" of crystal measuring12" to 18" and galleries with thousands of "Saligrams" fixed on stone slabs. Peer Mitha is another famous shrine in Jammu. 

Peer Mitha was a contemporary of Ajaib Deva nd Ghareeb Nath. Both saints were famous for their prophecies and miracles. Mitha means the sweet one for this Peer would accept nothing more than a pinch of sugar from his devotees. Other significant temples are the Laxmi Narayan Temple and Panj Mandir in the posh Gandhi Nagar locality of Jammu.

Raghunath Temple Situated in the heart of the city and surrounded by a group of other temples, this temple, dedicated to Lord Rama is outstanding and unique in Northern India. Work on the temple was started by Maharaja Gulab Singh, founder of the Kingdom of Jammu and Kashmir in 1835 AD and was completed by his son Maharaja Ranbir Singh 1860 AD. 

The inner walls of the main temple are covered with gold sheet on three sides. There are many galleries with lakhs of 'Saligrams'. The surrounding Temples are dedicated to various Gods and Goddesses connected with the epic Ramayana. 

On the opposite bank of the Tawi river, at an upland plateau, is situated the majestic Bahu Fort. Looking at the Fort, one can imagine the wars fought, invasions prevented and yes, even the grandeur the royal family must have enjoyed one upon a time. Today, the Fort is surrounded by lush green terraced gardens, waterfalls, and flowers of just about every kind and colour. A favorite picnic spot for the city folk, you can hear a lively chatter all day long on weekends. 

An outside view of the Bahu Fort. The Amar Singh Palace is a sight to behold. This grand Palace reminds one of a dreamy French castle, with sloping roofs and tall towers. 

Now open to tourists, the Amar Mahal which has been converted into a museum, houses the city's finest library of antique books and paintings. An entire series of miniatures on the epic Nal-Damayanti can be seen here in the museum.
