This temple is generally known as Raghunath temple. The temple houses lord Raghunath and all 33 koti gods and there families in standing posture, with lord shiva and mata baglamuki, separately housed within the premises. The temple is maintained very neat and tidy. it is painted white and looks very nice. the structure is as per vedic styles, prevailing in North india. There were priests, with vedic knowledge, conducting various ceremonies pertaining to the temple poojas etc. #Note- It's pretty big so it will take atleast 1 hour to thoroughly explore the temple as it contains N number of dieties of Gods. Note2- make sure to take a clockwise parikarama of the dieties (as its considered righteousness as per Vedic traditions)

The temple offers a serene and peaceful environment, making it a perfect place for spiritual reflection and inner peace. Surrounded by natural beauty, it provides a calming atmosphere that attracts both devotees and visitors seeking tranquility. However, despite its spiritual significance and the number of people who visit, the temple is in urgent need of maintenance and repairs. Some areas appear neglected, with signs of wear and structural deterioration. It’s disheartening to see such a sacred and culturally important place not receiving the care it deserves. I sincerely hope that the concerned authorities or the government take immediate steps to restore and preserve this beautiful heritage site for future generations.

This temple is located near to Airport after crossing Tawi river. The bridge crossing over the river is itself mesmerizing. The temple is very huge, One can easily spend more than an hour here. It is very peaceful inside. Positiveness is filled inside the arena. The temple has no crowd and no wait time or queues. The main idol or murti is magnificent. The main sanctum feels cooler than it's surrounding. One can sit and meditate here for a while. There are other 33 koti God's idol in the surrounding area. The area and other shrines are beautifully designed. You will find rare idols of directions i.e. Disha (Purva Paschim Uttar Dakshin). There is a lot to see than to describe. A must visit site when in Jammu.
