History
Lalitaditya had built Poonch city but at present there is no building existing on ground belonging to Lalitaditya except Ram Kund Temple Mendhar. Mr Stein who translated Rajatarangini, visited Poonch in 1892, identified a number of places like Loharkote (Loran), Attalika (Atoli), Saramber (Chamber Kanari), Savvernik (Surankote) mentioned in Rajatarangini. He could not locate Ram Kund as it was located in very remote area. Other proof is that Devadasis reported to Lalitaditya that they belonged to a nearby village known as Sover Dehmana, which is still existing near Narol, where Ram Kund Temple exists, known as Dharana instead of Dehmana.[2]
