Kakapora

Kakapora has historical importance from ancient times of the Uttpal dynasty of King Awantiwarman. An archaeological monument, a temple from the 11th century AD, has been excavated near Asian Masjid in Astan Mohallah Kakapora. The temple has only a remaining sanctum with some ruins. Many standing remains including stone-carved images of a female character (whom locals call "Rani") and a bathtub have been found. The monument is protected by archaeological survey of India and beautification, fencing floor reconstruction has been done by the department.^{[citation needed]}

In September 2014 floods, the temple oozed freshwater due to its being below a level that people of surrounding areas used for domestic and bath purposes. The temple was affected by waterlogging, and reconstruction work was again started in March 2016.^{[citation needed]}

A temple is a place of refreshment for locals during summer, and especially after sunset, local youth rest in the landscape of the temple.^{[citation needed]}

Kakapora was set up as an administrative unit as tehsil by the government of Jammu and Kashmir.
