Maha Maya Temple and City Forest

Hill temple and forested lookout facing Jammu's old city and river valley.

Maha Maya Temple sits above Jammu with the kind of view that makes the climb worthwhile: city, river, and low hills unfolding below. The adjoining city forest turns it from a quick shrine stop into a short green escape.

It is best treated as a local pilgrimage-and-viewpoint combination rather than a grand monument. Go in daylight, take water, and use it to balance Jammu's busier temple circuit with a quieter look back over the city.
