The annual Kheer Bhawani Mela is a significant religious festival celebrated by the Kashmiri Pandit community. It is primarily organized at the Ragnya Devi temple in Tulmulla, Ganderbal district, in the Kashmir Valley.

– The festival is held at the Goddess Ragnya Devi temple, commonly known as Kheer Bhawani temple.
– The main shrine is located in Tulmulla, Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir.
