Jammu and Kashmir state offers vast tourism potential in its all regions viz. Jammu Province, valley of Kashmir and Ladakh region. It is because Jammu and Kashmir has been gifted with a number of religious tourist spots and picturesque places, wildlife, wetlands ecosystems, lush green meadows and thick coniferous and deciduous forests. Snow capped Pir Panjal Mountains, valleys and rivers, Siwalik Hills coupled with springs and lakes have immense potential to entice tourists. The Jammu region endowed with natural beauty, is dotted with a number of historical monuments like Mubarak Mandi complex, Bagh-e-Bahu, Bahu Fort and Mohamaya Rakh, Gurudwaras, Darghas and a number of temples. Raghunath temple, Pirkho temple, Ranbireshwar temple, Panchvaklar and Panjtirthi temple, Mohamaya temple, Gurudwaras at Jain bazar and Raghunath bazars, Darghas at Pir Mitha, Mastgarh, Ustad Mohala Talab Khatikan and Gumat are the main religious places in and around the Jammu Vaishno Devi Bhawan Budha Amarnath Temple city which have the potential for the development of pilgrimage tourism. Jammu region is also characterised by having historic forts and other such places of Ramnagar, Reasi and Udhampur. There are couple of famous reli- gious sites enroute to Katra and Reasi. First comes the famous Agar Jitto which is at a distance of 6 km from Katra. It is cool scenic spot located amidst beautiful hillock with a number of perennial springs lending a cool and refreshing ambience to the place. A huge statue of Babba Jitto besides that of his daughter Bua Gouri dominates. Jammu region has bountiful places of Gods and Deities confined to hilly and mountainous region such as Mata Sukrala Devi of Billawar in district Kathua. Mata Sukrala Devi is also called a female Deity of foregiveness. Lakhs of people throng around this sacred shrine to pay obeisance and to obtain blessings.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present paper is an effort that has been made to conduct a historical enquiry into significance of the economic activities of Dharmarth (1846-1947). Its activities were having great relevance in boosting the economy of Jammu and Kashmir State. Its efforts were directed towards the welfare of the inhabitants of the State irrespective of sex, creed and religion. It provided employment, loans, cash and land grants, charities etc. to the people at length. The land attached with temples and land granted to other religious functionaries and learned persons proved to be a viable economic source to the grantees as well as the tenants cultivating their land. The temples of pilgrimage, served an important source of economy to both the custodians and the local population with in their vicinity.

  • Embedded Meanings an Analysis of the Role of the Raja in the Kulu Dussehra
    Embedded Meanings An Analysis of the Role of the Raja in the Kulu Dussehra KARUNA GOSW AMY The focus of this paper revolves around the role of the Raja in Kulu Dussehra, an event that has long enjoyed the s tatus of a 'state festival' .' In the process one will be looking at a series of rituals and ceremonies that constitute, and are integral to, the performance of that role on the part of the Raja. One will also have to enter upon a rich description of the festival in some part, since de tail is of the essence for unde rstanding some of the 'statements' that are made through it and the implications that it holds. The description of some of the ritual acts will take centre stage, for rituals, as we well u_pderstand, are rich in resonances.2 For the purposes of the present study, as elsewhere, they would be seen to contain religious and cultural meanings, marking off and sanctifying s"cred spaces, establishing or confirming social re lations, articulating issues of rank and power. Authority, including in this case the authority of the Raja of Kulu, being central to ritual power, reference will be seen as constantly being made as Mubayi, (2005: 16-17) puts it to 'political linkages and hierarchies of privilege and status', as much as to 'structures of order and authority' .3 I The Dussehra of Kulu is visibly different, in so many ways, from the festival of the same name that is celebrated in large parts of northern India. Rama is here, as elsewhere, the central figure, and it is his triumph and glory in all its plenitude that one is reminded of, year after year, through the celebrations.

  • Religious Landscape, Low Caste Hindus and the Identity Politics: Configuration of Socio-Religious Space for Weaker Sections in Jammu City, J&K (India)
    Ashish Saxena1 Прегледни рад Central University of Allahabad UDK 316.74:2 (540) Allahabad, India Vijaylaxmi Saxena Ex-lecturer, Calliope Law College, University of Jammu RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE, LOW CASTE HINDUS AND THE IDENTITY POLITICS: CONFIGURATION OF SOCIO-RELIGIOUS SPACE FOR WEAKER SECTIONS IN JAMMU CITY, J&K (INDIA) Abstract Dawning of a new century has not been accompanied by the eclipse of religiosity among individuals and in public culture rather because of dis- enchantment with our increasingly rationalized society, religion continues to provide meaning and intertwine daily social, economic, and political activity of human world. Alongside, the popular religiosity is an important contemporary trend encompassing the world religions. The study of religion as a force in peo- ple’s adaptation to and creation of landscape is certainly a proper and important endeavor in the field of sociology of religion. The present work aims at explor- ing the spatial expansion of subaltern groups in urban setting; socio-religious mobility among lower caste Hindus and the creation of sacred and secular space vis-à-vis higher Hindu caste groups in a sacred traditional Indian city. The broader findings reflect the creation of religious spaces and also the lower caste Hindu identity assertion through these places. The modern forces and the pace of urbanization had diluted the air-tight compartmentalized segregation of the weaker section and paved them way for secular living with the other high caste groups. It had not only brought democratic dwelling space but also provided them dignity with the new level of assertion.

  • A Study of the Pilgrimage Tourism of Kashmir
    1 A STUDY OF THE PILGRIMAGE TOURISM OF KASHMIR ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF doctor of $f)tlQSfopf)j^ IN COMMERCE By SHAHNAWAZ AHMAD DAR UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. S.M. IMAMUL HAQUE READER DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY AllGARH (INDIA) 2008 ABSTRACT Tourism is a phenomenon which was a strong motive behind the movement of people in ancient time and is still the strongest motive for causing the movement of millions of people across the regional, national and international boundaries. Travel which initially started with the intention to fulfil the religious/spiritual/pilgrimage needs of a person is again becoming the largest motivator to undertake travel. India recorded 4.43 million international tourist arrivals and over 400 million domestic tourists in 2006. In the same year, Indian tourism generated US$ 6 billion foreign exchange and contributed 5.83% to the GDP. Tourism to India means the third largest foreign exchange earner and one of the largest employment generating industry. India is gifted by a miniature India in the form of State of Jammu and Kashmir. The State comprises three divisions namely, Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. Each division has its own unique climate, geographical setting, religious beliefs, food pattern, art, culture and traditions and is full of tourism assets which are also distinctive. Jammu division is a Hindu dominant area. It has innumerable temples spread through out its length and breadth. Jammu is also called as ''City of Temples'". Ladakh, also called as the ''Land of Lamas", is a mountainous country. It is dominated by Buddhist population.
