Maa Kheer Bhawani

Maa Kheer Bhawani



Kheer Bhawani is a temple dedicated to the worship of the goddess Maa Kheer Bhawani (originally just Bhawani) constructed over a sacred spring of hers in a natural setting. The worship of Maa Kheer Bhawani is universal among the Hindus of Kashmir. The temple is situated at a distance of 14 miles east of Srinagar near the village of Tula Mula. The term kheer refers to the food used to propitiate the goddess, which became part of the name. As is the custom with Hindu deities, she has many names: Maharagya Devi, Ragnya Devi, Rajni, Ragnya Bhagwati, and so on.
