Explanation

The annual Kheer Bhawani Mela is a significant religious and cultural festival organized in the Kashmir Valley. The mela takes place at the Kheer Bhawani Temple, located in Tulla Mulla village in the Ganderbal district, approximately 27 km north of Srinagar. Dedicated to the goddess Ragnya Devi, who is the protective patron deity (Kuladevi) of the Kashmiri Pandit community, the festival coincides with the auspicious day of Zeystha Ashtami. Thousands of devotees, particularly displaced Kashmiri Pandits, travel to the valley to perform rituals and offer 'Kheer' (rice pudding) at the sacred spring. The event is also celebrated as a symbol of communal harmony, highlighting the shared heritage and bond between the Kashmiri Pandit and Muslim communities in the region.
