Jalandhar History
Jalandhar is believed to have emerged out of the sea.
This legendary origin of Jalandhar is confirmed by some geologists who
believe that once upon a time the sea stretched up to Jalandhar Doab and
the neighbouring Shiwaliks of Hoshiarpur. According to the Padma Purana,
the City takes its name from the great "Daitya" King , Jalandhra, the
son of the Ocean.
The earliest historical mention of Jalandhar occurs in the reign of
Kanishka, when about A.D. 100 a council of Buddhist Theologions met near
Jalandhar chiefly for the purpose of collecting manuscripts and
preparing commentaries on them.
