Thanamandi is a town and a municipal committee in the Rajouri district in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Thanamandi lies on the Mughal Road between Rajouri and Bufliaz.
Significance
Thanamandi lies 23 kilometres (14 mi) from Rajouri, the district headquarters, on the Mughal Road, the route across the Pir Panjal mountain pass toward Srinagar. Historically, this route was an important footpath to obtain feed for cattle. The building of the Mughal Road added vehicle traffic bound for Srinagar. It was the site of battle between Shah Miri Sultan Ali Shah and his younger brother Zain-ul-Abidin in 1420. Zain'l-Abidin defeated Ali Shah with the help of Raja Jasrat.[3]
Thanamandi has religious significance as the home of the most important Sufi saint, Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah, whose mausoleum is at Shahdara Sharief in the town.[4]
Thanamandi still has some forts that were built during the time of the Mughals. It may have taken its name from being a trade market ("mandi") during those times.
