Raghunath Temple, with seven shrines each with its own Sikhara, is one of the largest temple complex of north India, and is located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The temple was built during the period 1835-1860 by Maharaja Gulab Singh and his son Maharaja Rambir Singh. The temple has many gods, but the presiding deity is Rama, an avatar of Vishnu.

While the Hindus were performing puja in the temple complex on 24th November 2002, fidayeen attack by terrorists took place, which resulted into at least 10 deaths, and injuries to several devotees.
