On Tuesday, the head of the National Conference Farooq Abdullah welcomed the celebration of both Kheer Bhavani Mela and Urs of Hazrat Mir Syed Ali Hamdani, calling it a symbol of communal harmony in Kashmir. He emphasized the importance of unity for national progress.
Talking to Annie, Farooq Abdullah said, “It is a matter of pleasure that Kheer Bhavani’s fair and Hazrat Mir Syed Ali Hamdani’s Urs are being celebrated today. There has always been brotherhood in the valley. We want to see this brotherhood across the country. If we stay united, we will progress.”
Kheer Bhavani Mela is an important annual religious festival for the Kashmiri Pandit community. It is held at Kheer Bhavani Temple in Tulla Mulla village in Gandarb district. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Ragni Devi as Goddess Durga, and is considered one of the most sacred sites for Kashmiri Hindus.
Abdullah appealed to visit Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine in Katra, expressing concern over the decline in pilgrim numbers after a recent terrorist attack in Pohlgam.
“We should go to Mata Vaishno Devi in ​​Katra and appeal to people to go there. The number of devotees of Mata Vaishno Devi has decreased. People are scared after the recent war tragedy. The effect of the Pahgam incident was seen all over the country,” Abdullah said. (AI)
