The region was habitual place of the different identities from medieval period to till date. During medieval period the Jammu region was known as the term Durgara. The purpose of the study is to examine the construction of identities during medieval period in Jammu and Kashmir through Culture- Historical approach. These different identities brought a revolution in the field of art and architecture. The sources including inscription, coins, monuments and other antiquities are of immense value in the reconstruction of identities on the basis of archaeological records during medieval period. The prime objective was to understand how these identities have survived through all historical cultural sequences. It is an attempt to better understand the construction of identities through literary and archaeological evidences.

By nature, human beings have an innate tendency of remaining curious about the past and it was the fascination for antiquities which gave birth to the study of the archaeology.
