Balidan Bhawan, Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir--The Indian army liberated the town on 13th April, 1948 the day of Baisakhi festival

Balidan Bhawan, Rajouri 

This Bhawan is a memoir of great sacrifices made by the people of Rajouri during 1947-48. On the night of Diwali in October-November 1947, the Pakistani marauders forcibly captured the town when indian army was operating in other parts of the district.

The marauders mercilessly put to death thousands of men and women,old and young, infants and children and plundered the town in lust of wealth and booty. 


The Indian army liberated the town on 13th April, 1948 the day of Baisakhi festival. The Bhawan since then has been dedicated to the sacrifices of those heroes and was given the name of Balidan Bhawan .
