Jammu--
a city of temples, where glittering 'sihkars' adds to
the ambience of this holy city. Jammu is located along
River Tawi in the foot hills of the Himalayas. Here he
saw a tiger and a goat drinking water side by side. It
was a place where no one had enmity with other, so he
built a city which came to be known as Jammu. Jammu offers
the widest diversity of terrain and beauty. The entire
region is pocketed with lakes and valleys.
Jammu is the second largest city of the northern Indian
state of Jammu and Kashmir and is also its winter capital.
Divided into two separate cities, the old town of Jammu
is located on a hilltop overlooking the river Tawi while
the new town is situated across the river, several kilometers
away.
