History of Bharmour                    

The history of Bharmour can be traced back to the 6^th century when Meru a ruler from Ayodhya and his first prince Jaistambh defeated the Ranas to settle down in the upper Ravi valley. It was then called Brahampura. The name gets its origin from the Brahamini goddess temple which is situated there.

According to the locals, Brahamini Devi was living with her son who was very fond of his pet birds. One day he found them killed by a peasant which shocked the son to death. The mourning also led to the death of Brahamini Devi. The villagers built a temple in memory of the trio.

Several decedents of Meru ruled Brahampura. The empire was later expanded by Sahil Vaman by conquering the lower Ravi valley.

The land also owns its pride for being the home of a set of tribes called Gaddis who are respected for their honesty, friendliness and peaceful lifestyle.
