About Bhadarwah
If there is a paradisiacal hilly resort in the Jammu region, it is Bhadarwah in Doda district. Its natural beauty is enchanting, which has been the envy of the rulers in the past. Rajatarangini makes its mention as Bhadravakash, that is, a good resting place. That was the description of this place between 1112 and 1128. According to the more recent history, a scion of the ruling Billowaria family of the adjoining region of Billawar (presently a tehsil of Kathua district) is said to have founded Bhadarwah in the 15th century.
According to the more recent history, a scion of the ruling Billowaria family of the adjoining region of Billawar (presently a tehsil of Kathua district) is said to have founded Bhadarwah in the 15th cenutry. Its rule had changed hands many times (it was also once part of the Chamba State, which is now a district of Himachal Pradesh) till Maharaja Gulab Singh had wrested its control in 1846. In the beginning of the Dogra regime, it was administered by the military. Such was its natural splendour, however, that soon the kings themselves had taken fancy to the place. Maharaja Pratap Singh bestowed it as a jagir to Raja Amar Singh with all powers of administration, development and revenue collection. It had remained his personal domain till his death in 1911. Later it had become the estate of Raja (subsequently Maharaja) Hari Singh. In 1930, however, the exclusive status of Bhadarwah ended. It was then made a tehsil of Udhampur district. In 1948, with the reorganisation of Udhampur district, it got its present administrative dispensation as a tehsil of the newly-created Doda district. Apart from an enviable background, Bhadarwah has a rich and varied cultural heritage. It is also a major religious centre. It offers many hill prigimages, including the famous Kailash Yatra, and has important fairs.
