The town of Reasi largely has an agrarian based economy, drained by the mighty Chenab River, and home to many important historical events. Dominated by the robust Bhimgarh Fort, the town is one of the oldest in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and was the seat of the erstwhile Bhimgarh State, and is said to have been established by Raja Bhim Dev somewhere in the 8th century. The town still has strong reminders of its ancient past in the form of little known temples like Bhimsen Devta. The various architectural styles speak of the town s many historical layers. Architecturally and culturally, the town is one of the richest but less explored regions of Jammu and Kashmir. |
