Jammu
houses a huge number of temples and shrines, with soaring spires that seem
to pierce the skies above. The Raghunath group of temples, the largest in
the north; the Amar Mahal Palace; the Ranbireshwar Temple, dedicated to
Lord Shiva; the Baghi Bahu temple are some of the popular landmarks of the
region. Pandrethan has a small but beautifully proportioned Shiva temple,
which dates from 900 AD and is in the military cantonment area on the
Jammu road out of Srinagar . Considered to be
among the major attractions of the city of Srinagar, the Shankracharya
temple, besides a prominent Hindu religious place, is of great
archaeological importance and commands a magnificent panoramic view of the
city.
