Kheer Bhawani Temple
A temple to the goddess most revered by Kashmiri Pandits. The waters of its spring pool are said to change color with the political situation, and ancient plane trees surround it.
Kheer Bhawani Temple is in Tulmula Village, Ganderbal District, about 25 kilometers from Srinagar, and is dedicated to the goddess Ragnya. The small white shrine stands in the middle of a spring pool. Devotees make offerings of kheer, a sweet rice pudding, which gives the temple its name. A large festival is held every year in the Jyeshtha month of the Hindu calendar, around May and June. It can be combined with a visit to Manasbal Lake.
