According to the Rajdarshani, a historical chronicle by 19th-century historian Ganeshdas Badenra, the Mubarak Mandi Palace was founded when Raja Dhruv Dev in 1710, after consulting his astrologers, moved his residence from the older palace in Purani Mandi to a new, grander location overlooking the Tawi River.[1] During his tenure, the Battle of Jammu (1712) was fought in which he sided with the Mughals to defeat Sikh rebel Banda Singh Bahadur.[2]
