Raghunat Temple.

Jammu, 14-05-1994. The Raghunath Temple in Jammu is actually a whole complex of temples, each dedicated to one Hindu god or another. One of these gods looks a bit like Gog Jaghunath together with sister and brother. Some temples were dedicated to Hanuman the monkey god. Naturally Lord Shiva was also present, symbolised by his representation as a lingam. Whole chambers of this massive complex were dedicated to Lord Shiva with steps of lingams and around the temples were niches with steps with lingams.
