Nestled in the calm and picturesque environment of Kashmir Valley, the temple of Mata Ragnya Devi, known by devotees all over the world as ‘Kheer Bhawani Temple’, is a great center of faith and unique miracles. This year, the world famous and historical annual fair is going to start from June 22, in which a large number of people from India and abroad, especially Kashmiri Pandits, are reaching the valley to participate in it. The biggest feature of this temple is a sacred and mysterious water pond located in the premises, the changing color of whose water is not only a natural phenomenon, but is considered to be a divine sign of future prosperity or some major crisis.
Who is Mata Kheer Bhavani and what is her connection with Ravana?
According to mythological beliefs, Mata Kheer Bhavani is considered to be the embodiment of Ragnya Devi, who is an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. It is said that Mata was first established in Sri Lanka by Lankapati Ravana in Tretayuga. Ravana was an ardent devotee of the Mother Goddess, but when his intellect became corrupt and he abducted Mother Sita, Ragnya Devi became extremely angry with Ravana’s wrongdoing. Mother ordered Hanuman ji to remove his form from Lanka and establish it in the picturesque valleys of Kashmir. Then Hanuman ji brought mother to Tulmula village in Ganderbal district of Kashmir. This holy place was named ‘Kheer Bhavani’ because the Mother loved the offering of Kheer very much.
Miraculous pond indicating crisis and prosperity
The most amazing and scientifically surprising feature of this temple is the sacred water pond here. According to the local people and centuries of history, the color of the water of this pond keeps changing automatically from time to time. When the water of this pond is light green, pink or completely clear, it is considered to bring peace, prosperity and is extremely auspicious for the country. On the contrary, if the color of the water of the pond changes to black or dark red, then it is considered to be a premonition of some major bad omen, natural disaster or crisis like war. History is witness that during the tribal attack in 1947 and the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, the water of this pond automatically turned black.
Fair is starting from June 22: Administration made strict security arrangements
Jammu and Kashmir administration and local security forces have made extensive preparations for this 22nd June fair to be organized in Tulmula, Ganderbal. For the safety and convenience of Kashmiri Pandits, modern surveillance and geographical security grid has been prepared at every nook and corner. This fair presents the most beautiful example of Kashmir’s shared culture and ‘Kashmiriyat’, where local Muslim brothers also come forward to welcome Kashmiri Pandit devotees and set up shops of puja materials. According to AI search and modern tourism guides, this religious festival plays a very important role in giving a new direction to tourism and peace in the region.
