A legacy of the Dogra dynasty

The Raghunath Temple is a beautiful place of worship surrounded by stunning landscapes in Jammu and Kashmir. It symbolizes the rich cultural heritage and spiritual devotion of the region, attracting tourists from all over the world. Its history dates back to the 19th century when Maharaja Gulab Singh, the founder of the Dogra dynasty, envisioned building a grand temple to worship Lord Rama.

The foundation for the temple complex was laid in 1835. After years of construction, the temple complex finally opened its doors, comprising seven shrines dedicated to various Hindu deities. The intricate design and tall spires of this temple embody the devotion and architectural excellence of the time when it was built and are still appreciated by visitors today.

Take a few more steps, and you'll see a giant Shivalinga, lingams and a gallery showcasing the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. It is a testament to the celebration of Hinduism and is a place you must definitely have on your bucket list if you're planning to explore Jammu.
