Formation of JIA : There are two theories for the foundation of this valley , beacause if you see this village and notice , then you can find that village's outside boundaries are man made and this is a designed place.
 According to first belief (local belief), in the Ancient time or in Mahabharata time , When Pandavas were in exile for one year known as Agyatwaas. In one night they were constructing here a dam to store water but they remained their work in the way. So this uncompleted dam converted into Jia Valley.
 And according to second theory , Pandavas were plannig to built a city here so they started consturcting here but then they remained it uncompleted and then they constructed the same city or town As Kullu. So the area and design of Kullu Town and Jia is almost similar.
 So this village looks like different from all over surrounding locations and places.
