Panchbakhtar temple, Jammu
ABOUT
Panchbakhtar Temple also known by the name of Rupai Wala Mndir, is one of the oldest Shiva Temple in the region of Jammu. The Lingam of the temple is self manifested. This temple of rare antiquity, heritage and spiritual importance, is situated in the heart of the city, in an area of more than twenty five kanals, at Panchvaktar Mahadev Road, Jammu. It has since long been known as Dashnam Akhara and very deeply connected with Amar Nath Yatra. The traditional folklores tell that it was earlier famous as Dashnam Akhara and had a deep connection with Amar Nath Yatra. Analysing semantics reveals that Panchvaktar refers to ‘five faces'. It is being told that Adi Shankryacharya visited this site once and stayed here for a while. Few others are of the opinion that this place was discovered much later in early fourteenth century under the reign of Raja Mal Dev.
