The famous temple of 'Bawey Wali Mata' is in site the Bahu Fort, where every Tuesday and Sunday pilgrims throng and jostle one another to worship the Goddess. A little further away on a hill top opposite the Bahu Fort, is a lovely spot over looking the river Tawi, where a temple dedicated to Mahamaya has been constructed.

On Thursdays, you can find Hindu and Sikh devotees vastly out - numbering their Muslim brethren at this shrine such is the faith that people have in the Peer Baba. Most VIPs make it a point to visit this Dargah when they come to Jammu.
