Cultural Heritage
The genesis of the Kheer Bhawani Temple at Tulmul is deeply rooted in ancient Kashmiri lore, long before the 16th-century edifice attributed to Raja Pratapaditya I. According to revered tradition, the presiding deity, Ragnya Devi, manifested from the sacred Sharada Peeth and was transported from Sri Lanka to this very site by Lord Hanuman, a narrative that firmly establishes the spring's profound antiquity and divine provenance within the Indic spiritual landscape. This foundational legend underscores a continuous reverence for the sacred spring, which served as a focal point for devotion for centuries, predating any formal architectural construction and reflecting the enduring spiritual practices of the Kashmiri Pandit community. Subsequent historical periods saw significant patronage that shaped the temple's physical form and solidified its prominence. Notably, Maharaja Pratap Singh, a revered Dogra ruler, undertook extensive renovations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, constructing the present domed structure over the octagonal spring and enhancing the surrounding complex. This era of royal patronage ensured the temple's preservation and expansion, cementing its status as a premier pilgrimage site even through periods of political transition, including Mughal and Sikh rule. The architectural blend, incorporating elements of Kashmiri, Sharada Peeth, and Indo-Mughal styles, stands as a historical testament to the syncretic cultural currents that have shaped the region over millennia.
