Jasrota

Jasrota

Jasrota is the capital city of the Jasrotia rajputs, founded by "Jasdev", a descendant of the The Royal House of Jammu and Kashmir.

Their castle which they built to fight the Sikhs or any external threats which they perceived from the other rulers of that time. The palace of the Jasrotias still exists and is a reminder of the Jasrotia history. It is situated on the banks of river Ujjh, around 60 km, from the Jammu city, in Jammu and Kashmir.

Now the place has been covered under the Jasrota Wild life sanctuary but still the Jasrotia Rajputs meet there once in a year to remember their great history and also they organise a Yagya for the temple which has been built inside the palace.
