The Jammu and Kashmir government has started renovating all the heritage religious places in the Kashmir region.

Mangaleshwar Bhairava Temple at Jalamool on an island in Srinagar’s Baba Demb district was completely damaged in the floods of 2014. But now the archeology department is working to restore the temple as per its exact original architecture.

Expenditure of more than 16 lakhs

Update in two parts
