Devika runs down from Purmandal to Uttarvehni through village Mandal. Uttarvehni in local language (i.e., Dogri) means flowing towards north. It is one of the rare places where a river flows from south to north. Rameshwaram and Bhuteshawar are ancient temples in Mandal.<br />

==Points of interest==<br />
Purmandal Temple, dedicated to [[Parvati]], is built on the west bank of the river. A number of other temples are dedicated to [[Shiva]]. There is a large ''[[haveli]]'' (mansion) dating from about 1830, in good condition, and several ''[[dharamshala (type of building)|dharamshalas]]'' (rest-houses for pilgrims), mostly severely deteriorated. Many of these structures are decorated with murals dating from between 1813 and 1898.<ref name=jktourism/><ref>{{cite book |last1=Charak |first1=Sukh Dev Singh |last2=Billawaria |first2=Anita K. |date=1998 |title=Pahari Styles of Indian Murals |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kugq3wEh-W4C&pg=PR7 |publisher=Abhinav Publications |pages=86–89 |isbn=978-81-7017-356-4}}</ref><br />
