He wrote, "Zyesht Ashtami hund chu tohe saarni Mubarak! Lassiv te phalliv. Greetings to all my Kashmiri Pandit sisters and brothers on Jyeshtha Ashtami. May the blessings of Mata Kheer Bhawani give strength to everyone and may there be peace as well as prosperity everywhere."
Scores of devotees arrived at the Kheer Bhawani temple in Tullamulla town in Jammu and Kashmir's Ganderbal district for the annual pilgrimage that takes place on Zyestha Ashtami, which falls on June 10 this year.
Housing the shrine of Ragnya Devi, a revered goddess, the Kheer Bhawani temple is the holiest religious destination for the Kashmiri Pandits.
Walking barefoot, the devotees carry rose petals and offer tribute to the goddess as men take a dip in the stream close to the shrine.
