My god plz help me🙏❤️

Religious temple of Hindus built back, have a very holy place amongst the hearts , people across all jammu come and visit. It is a nice place with good architecture Cultural place

I understand the security concerns but this extremely historic place has been totally made run down. The temple of the venerable Devi is however very well preserved. With a little bit of a professional approach, this place can become a clean, safe, tourist draw. They don't allow anyone to climb the ramparts, or even approach the walls of the fort, which offer the most sweeping views of the floodplains of the Tawi river, the city beyond it, and the distant mountains.

Archaeological site and great maintenance of site, no changes in the building... As it's temple, so there r some issue like business type things done by administration there like if u have to organise langar there on any day, u can't give directly raw food, but u have to give particular amount of money and they will do by their own. Recently they started new things which is not an issue in particular but it was questionable on the rational behind it even though before that things was happening even without it.. like no shorts allowed, etc. (don't want to get into details)... On tourism wise, there is need to maintain new things introduced there like fountains, tiles on path, and especially frisking need to be little bit strict .. security there don't even check anything they just simply ask the person do u have mobile in ur pocket, even though if someone have will anyone tell them ... and no machine of checking if anything danger items someone taking with him/her...

I always feel calm when i come here
