Shree Kheer Bhawani Temple, in Tul Mulla village near Srinagar, is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Bhawani, an incarnation of Parvati. Originally called Bhavani Mandir, it came to be known as Kheer Bhawani after the kheer (rice pudding) offered as prasad. The temple stands over a sacred spring, surrounded by tall chinar trees.
The presiding goddess of this temple, Kheer Bhavani is prominently worshipped as the shielding deity of Kuladevi. This goddess is also known by many other names such as Ragnya Bhagwati, Ragnya Devi, Rajni and Maharagya Devi. Besides, this is one of the most revered sites in Kashmir, especially for Kashmiri Pandits. There are mats spread out under the surrounding Chinar trees for visitors to rest. However, photography may not always be allowed here.
