Mata Kheer Bhawani
Mata Kheer Bhawani is a revered Hindu goddess worshipped primarily in the Kashmir region of India. She is considered an incarnation of the goddess Durga and is associated with the well-being and prosperity of her devotees. The main shrine dedicated to her is located in Tulmulla, where a sacred spring is believed to change colors, reflecting the goddess's mood.
The annual festival of Kheer Bhawani Mela attracts thousands of pilgrims who come to offer prayers and seek blessings. Devotees prepare a special dish called Kheer, a sweet rice pudding, as an offering to the goddess. The festival fosters a sense of community and cultural heritage among the people of Kashmir.
