Jammu’s periphery is surrounded by some of the significant states of India, like the Punjab, Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. The primary part of the region of Jammu is covered by the Shivalik range and then it is ornamented by the Vale of Kashmir on the north and the Daman Koh plains to the south. The climate of Jammu varies between a humid summer, which is endowed with scorching sun rays and a nerve cracking winter, which witnesses temperatures of sub zero levels as well. During the summers, the temperatures shoot up to 46 degree Celsius as well. Dense fog is a characteristic of the winters which facilitates limited vision for the locals. The hottest month is the month of June and the coldest month is the month of February. It is recommended that the travellers undertake a travel to this place between the months of October to March when the temperatures are moderate. Monsoons do knock on the doors of Jammu in the beginning of July. There is a very interesting story attached to the history of Jammu. It is believed by historians that the city of Jammu was discovered by Raja Jambu Lochan in the 14th century BC. History states that, on one of the hunting expeditions of Suryavanshi Raja Jambu Lochan, when he reached by the river of Tawi, he was astonished by the sight of a lion and a goat drinking water adjacent to each other. He was awe stricken by this sight and opined to his ministers that this land was so pure and virtuous that no living creature could nurse any animosity against each other. He, therefore, decided to make this place his capital city, Jambupura, located on the right bank of the river Tawi overlooking his brother Bahu’s fort. Jammu was ruled by a wide range of dynasties. It was under the rule of Mughals, followed by a reign by the Sikhs and then it was subjected to the British Raj. Also, the city was ruled for a sizeable period of about 984 years by Dev dynasty followed by the Dogra rule. It was during the tenure of the Dogra rule, that innumerable temples, mosques and educational institutions were constructed.
