Jammu is a city in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. It is on the banks of the Tawi River which is a tributary of the Chenab River. The Dogri language is spoken here among Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. Jammu is called ‘city of mosques’ because the Muslim mosques are in huge numbers there. They also have numerous mosques such as the central Jamia Masjid.[1]

There is an archeological site called Manda in Jammu.
