Why Jwala Ji Temple Kangra Matters
Cultural Heritage
The annals of Jwala Ji Temple are replete with instances of its profound historical resonance, extending far beyond the 16th-century Dogra construction. A pivotal moment arrived in the late 16th century with the visit of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, a narrative deeply embedded in local lore. Legend recounts Akbar's attempt to extinguish the eternal flames, first by diverting a canal and then by covering them with an iron griddle, only for the flames to burst forth with renewed vigour. This event, whether historical fact or powerful myth, profoundly underscored the temple's perceived divine power and resilience in the face of imperial authority, cementing its reputation across diverse religious communities. Further affirming its historical prominence, the temple received significant patronage from Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the founder of the Sikh Empire, in the early 19th century. During his visit in 1809, he offered a magnificent golden *chhatra* (canopy) to the Goddess, a gesture that remains a tangible symbol of his devotion and the temple's continued sanctity under different regional powers. This act not only enriched the temple's material heritage but also highlighted its enduring status as a revered pilgrimage site that transcended dynastic and religious boundaries, attracting veneration from various rulers and communities throughout centuries of South Asian history.
