a month agoGol Ghar in Jammu is a historical, circular structure that is part of the larger Mubarak Mandi Palace complex, reflecting the Dogra dynasty's architectural style with Roman and Islamic influences. It was heavily damaged by a fire in 1984 and a 2005 earthquake, which caused its roofs and floors to collapse, leaving it in a fragile state. Due to its fragility, interior access is restricted, but its exterior remains a notable landmark on the banks of the River Tawi.

4 years agoGold Ghar is an ancient structure. It's a southern part of the structure of mubarak place. Now it's a deserted area due to earthquake. The building 🏫 is collapsed and the ruins can be seen from outside of the main road of Tawi riverside. I came to see this ancient structure but sadly it was not a shape to see and enjoy. Hope the government and ASI will pay more attention to restore this old heritage of the gol ghar. Do visit and learn something if you wish too
