Overview Jammu has a large number of temples and shrines, the soaring spires
of which seem to perforate the skies above. Katra, 48 kms from Jammu
is the starting point of the heavily thronged shine of Vaishno Devi.
The various tribes who belong here are the sturdy Dogras who live in
the plains, the Pahadis in the hills, and the nomadic
mountain-dwelling tribes of Gaddis and Gujjars. Agriculture is the
main occupation, while handicrafts typical of Jammu are wooden
ornaments, intricate bamboo work, straw fans and rush baskets.
