History
This historical town is considered to have been established by the famous Hindu king Shankarvarman, son of Awantivarman of Utpala dynasty, in the 9th century AD. As per Kalhana's Rajatarangini, Shankarvarman built a town named Pattana. Pandits write it as ‘Pathan’, ‘The Path’, as it falls on the important route to Baramulla. During ancient times Pattan was a business center for wool, livestock and grains. Shankarvarman had built two temples at Pattan town dedicated to Shiva. He named one of the temples after his wife, Sugandha, as Sugandhesa and the other temple was named as Shankargaurishwar. To the north of these two temples was a lake known as “PumpeSar” (Lotus Lake),where now stands a residential area.
In Rajatarangini
Pattana town built by Shankaravarmma is mentioned in Rajatarangini. [3]
Rajatarangini[4] tells.... After his conquest, Shankaravarmma returned to his country, and built a town named after him in the [p.117]: province of Panchasattra. In that beautiful town he also set up two images of Shiva, Shankaragaurisha and Sugandhesha — the former named after himself, and the latter after his queen Sugandha, daughter of Shrisvami, king of Udakpatha.
Rajatarangini[5] tells us that king of Kashmir Shankaravarmma built a town named Pattana, and made his minister Sukharaja's nephew (sister's son) lord of Dvara, but that man lost his life at Bīrānaka through his own carelessness. This incensed the king, and he marched upon, and devastated Biranaka, and entered Uttarapatha. He conquered many kingdoms on the banks of the Indus, and when the affrighted people of those places submitted, he returned.
Rajatarangini[6] tells ....Neither in the capital, nor in towns or villages, was there a temple left from which the idol was not taken out by Harsha the Turushka. Two influential gods were beyond his power, Shriramasvami in the capital, and Martanda at Pattana.
