The place is usually misrecognized by the people saying pandavas place because the material used in building this place is usually panadava stones. 

That's why people misrecognize it. But all its history is written inside it. It is said that this temple has gone almost 20 feet deep under the earth and that only its top side is visible and martand temple anantnag : martand sun temple is located about 9 km northeast of anantnag district. It was constructed by king lalitaditya, a kshatriya from surya dynasty, in honour to bhaskar or the sun god.
