The little hill-station of Patnitop came into prominence when militancy took its toll of the tourism industry in Kashmir. this also helped Patnitop come into its own as a full-fledged destination. It no longer remained a place for weekend visitors. The infrastructure developed, many people from Jammu built second homes, the trails became better explored and new activities came along. The place-name Patnitop, is believed to have originated from the local phrase (Patan da Talaba), or the pond of the princess. Again local lore has it that there was once a pond on the grassy slopes and this was where a princess used to bathe.
People from far and wide come here to pay homage at the shrine of the deity. Followers of the deity make it a point to visit the shrine at least once in their lifetime as they believe it brings them good luck and washes away their sins.
