Beautifully kept, the Martand Sun Temple is built in nagara style of temple architecture. It is a protected monument under Archaeological Survey of India. Built in 8th century AD, it is senior to the Konark Sun Temple, Odisha (13th century AD) and Modera Sun Temple, Gujarat (11th Century). “Martand” is Sanskrit name for Sun. Ancient and medieval Kings would often call themselves as “son of Sun” (Surya-putra). The impressive Martand Sun Temple was built during reign of one of the mightiest emperors of north India, Lalitaditya Muktapida. LALITADITYA MUKTAPIDA: Emperor Lalitaditya Muktapida (724 to 760 AD), a name surprisingly not mentioned in the school books of India, was the fiercest and the most powerful ruler of the Karkota dynasty of Kashmir region. His name Lalit+Aditya means “beautiful Sun God”. His empire stretched from Kabul in the west to present day Kolkata in the east. Lalitaditya had founded a number of towns and temples in the valley. The Martand Sun Temple stands as his most magnificent creation. SIKANDAR BUTSHIKAN: Muslim ruler Sikandar Butshikan, the idol breaker, (हिंदी: बुतशीखान – मूर्ति तोड़ने वाला; اردو - بت شکن) in the early 15th century ordered complete demolition of the Martand Sun Temple, an exercise that is said to have lasted for a year. It was done in his effort to convert Hindus of the Valley to Islam, which he succeeded in doing to a large extent by persecuting Hindus on large scale, destroying the Hindu-Buddhist icons of culture and infusing terror in the minds of Hindus and Buddhists of the Valley. He had also destroyed a large number of Buddhist temples and masterpieces.

We enjoyed a lot there. Chandanwari would give you a chance to play with the snow. It is beautiful place with Lidder River flowing very closely. At this place, there was snow and jackets and boots are available on rentals. This is the gateway of Amarnath yatra. Best time to visit this place is from March to April.

Mamleshwar is considered to be an ancient temple that probably dates back to 400 AD. It is located at just a mile away from Pahalgam town. This temple is devoted to Lord Shiva and stands across the Kolahoi stream up towards the mountain. According to legend, this is the temple where Ganesha was placed as door keeper not to allow anyone to enter the temple without his permission. Mam Mal means don't go, and thus it is also known as Mammal temple. Tourists from across the world throng the temple during their holidays in Pahalgam.

There are two main temples, each lying on either side of the river Narmada. It is better to first visit Mamleshwar jyotirling, which is very ancient and less crowded, and then move to Omkareshwar jyotirling, for which either you can take the boat or cross the river through bridge. Omkareshwar temple is crowded and has market nearby. You can take bath in the river as well, there are ghats for it.
