| Local / Traditional description associated with Built Heritage / Site निर्मित धरोहर / स्थल से सम्बंधित स्थानीय/ परम्परागत विवरण |
The town of Reasi is largely 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 towns many historical layers. Architecturally and culturally, the town is one of the richest but less explored regions of Jammu and Kashmir. |

इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
Given the present altered state of the building, it is difficult to ascertain how it originally looked. The original remnants of the building imply that it was simple rectangular with very few openings. According to the local sources, there were several rooms in the building which have now reduced to only two. The building is being used as storage by the local residents. |
