About 20 kms from Jammu off the Jammu-Akhnoor highway is the small village of Burj. The non-descript village has in its midst a singularly distinct temple dating back to the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

The Burj temple is a mix of the Rajasthan and Gurdwara style architecture. An inscription would have us believe that the temple was built by a Maharaja Salan Singh about whom little else is known in history. But its unique architecture is not the only distinct aspect of this temple. The temple has profuse paintings on the walls of the sanctum and the verandah leading to it. The paintings depict scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharta and the Krishna leela. Besides, there is profusion of floral designs in the sanctum.
