Purmandal

Destination

Purmandal

Historic temple town on the Devika—Jammu’s quieter pilgrimage heritage east of the city.

Purmandal is an older temple town on the Devika river—stone shrines, pilgrimage lanes, and a slower rhythm than city Jammu or Katra. Ideal for guests extending a religious circuit beyond the headline sites.

KTC includes Purmandal when drive time and season make a full half-day meaningful.
