General Caption;
On Jammu-Udhampur national highway, just ahead of Nandani tunnels we see one old Haveli and a beautiful Pond on the right downside of the road.

This heritage monument has seen the glorious past of Dogra Kings and has also witnessed neglect at the hands of successive Governments. This structure of great historical importance remained unheard and unknown to general public and tourists for more than a century. There was a time when the Rulers were worried about the welfare of their people. With this thought in mind, this beautiful Haveli and pond was constructed in this draught hit area where single drop of water was hardly available in those days.

This huge complex of great historical importance should have been declared a protected monument much earlier because it deserves so.Even at this stage the pond is in a fine state. The writing on the marble plate on end point of the pond reads as, “This tank Ramsar in the village Janakha is constructed by Shri Rani Pathani of the late Sir Raja Ram Singh Sahib Bahadur K BC of Ramnagar for the use of all living beings as darmarth in April 1912 A. D’’

In this connection it is pertinent to mention that Raja Ram Singh was the younger brother of Maharaja Partap Singh of J&K State. Raja Ram Singh was the last ruler of Ramnagar. Rani Pathani was the queen of Raja Ram Singh. This tank was named as Ramsar and dedicated to the memory of the late King. Raja Ram Singh had only one daughter and she was married to Raja Kedar Chand of Chenani. Another thing to note is the writing on the plate, “That this pond is open for use by all living beings.” This was indeed a great social equality thought in the mind of great Dogra queen.

Bhimgarh Fort is one of the historic and attractive forts of Jammu and Kashmir situated in Reasi town about 73 kms in north-west direction from Jammu city. On one side, it is surrounded by Anji Nalla, in the west Chenab River and towards north Salal hills. The fort is located at a hillock 150 meters elevated from main road.

Initially the fort was built by Raja Bhim Dev in 8th century in an ordinary way and that is why it was named after Bhim. Later on, its walls were built with stones by Rishipal Rana and his successors.

The fort is tourist attraction in the district as it has historic importance. The history of Reasi is not complete without the name of Bhim Fort. To preserve this historic fort, minor repairs and other renovation work is required.
