Abstract

A Hindu temple devoted to Surya, the Martand Sun Temple (also called Pandou Laidan) dates back to the eighth century. Its building was ordered by the third Karkota Dynasty emperor, Lalitaditya Muktapida. Unfortunately, Sikandar Shah Miri, the Muslim monarch, demolished it, and it is now in ruins. The temple, located in Jammu and Kashmir five miles from Anantnag, had a fusion of Chinese, Gandharan, and Gupta architectural styles. It is known as Kartanda (Sun Temple) and is a centrally protected monument. The author draws attention to the remnants of the Kashmir Valley's Martand Sun Temple.

Abstract

In most economies, tourism creates money, jobs, and GDP. Kashmir is known as "Heaven on Earth" because of its amazing beauty. Baramulla attracts visitors with its gurudwaras, temples, monasteries, and shrines. Gulmarg, at 2730 meters above sea level, is a must-see for visitors. Gaurimarg was renamed Gulmarg in the 16th century, which means "Valley of Flowers." More notable sites in the Baramulla District include the Gulmarg Biosphere Reserve, Khilanmarg, Acchabal, Gondola Lift, Tangmarg, and Khilanmarg Golf Course, as well as Parihaspora. The tourism industry in Kashmir has enormous potential, and it also provides numerous economic options for residents in the Baramulla region. The current document emphasizes the District Baramulla's prominent tourist spots, historical sites, and geographical places.
