Pandori Dham

[4] The Vaishnav establishment at Pandori Dham was founded by local Ramanandi saint Shri Bhagwanji who was a Dogra Khajuria Brahmin born at Kahnuwan town in Gurdaspur.

The Rajput rulers of princely states especially Nurpur, Jammu, Mankot, Guler, Basohli, Chamba, Bandralta, Jasrota, Jaswan were particularly devoted to the Pandori dham.

[8] The second Mahant of Pandori dham, Shri Narainji is said to have survived the ordeal inflicted to him by Muslim Emperor Jahangir who had poisoned him to test his miraculous powers.

[12] At evening, Sankirtan is held in which Mahant delivers religious discourses and concludes it by distributing prasad of Patashas (candy drops).

Some important historical daughter shrines are that of Damtal in Kangra, Bathu in erstwhile Guler state and Lehal in Dhariwal of Gurdaspur.
