Governor Sahab,With the utmost respect and deep reverence, I, on behalf of the entire Kashmiri Pandit community, devotees of Mata Kheer Bhawani, and members of the Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC), extend our heartfelt congratulations and profound gratitude to your esteemed self for your historic and much-needed decision to construct a Yatri Bhawan adjacent to the Mata Kheer Bhawani Shrine, Tulmulla.

Your announcement on the last auspicious occasion of Zyestha Ashtami, at Tulmulla ,has brought immense relief, joy, and satisfaction to our entire community and all yatris who have long faced difficulties due to the lack of proper accommodation facilities at this sacred shrine.Sir, this initiative reflects your magnanimity, sensitivity, and unwavering commitment to addressing the concerns of Kashmiri Pandits and ensuring their religious and pilgrimage needs are met.

By allocating funds for this significant project, you have reaffirmed the faith of our community in your administration’s dedication to preserving our religious heritage and facilitating our spiritual obligations. The absence of a proper Yatri Bhawan has been a long-standing challenge, especially during bad weather and the harsh winter season, when yatris and devotees struggle without adequate staying facilities.

This much-needed step will ensure that pilgrims, particularly elderly and vulnerable devotees, are protected from extreme climatic conditions and can perform their religious duties in comfort and peace.Sir, while expressing our deepest gratitude for this noble initiative, we humbly seek your kind attention toward other essential improvements at the shrine that are crucial for maintaining its sanctity, religious traditions, and overall facilities.Sir, we earnestly request the appointment of a Kashmiri Brahman Guruji (Pujari) at the shrine.

The absence of a Kashmiri Pandit Pujari has led to dissatisfaction among yatri,s and devotees, as the current rituals are not being performed in the traditional Kashmiri Shaivite and other needed manner.

To uphold the religious sanctity, authenticity, and rich heritage of our spiritual practices, it is imperative that a Kashmiri Pandit Guruji be reinstated at the temple without further delay.

Sir,the sacred springs surrounding the shrine require immediate cleaning and restoration to maintain their purity and religious significance. Bathing areas for devotees should be properly maintained to ensure hygiene and accessibility for all pilgrims. The entire temple complex must be regularly maintained with utmost religious sensitivity.

Sir, the construction of the Yatri Bhawan should be expedited to ensure at least partial completion before the next Zyestha Ashtami festival. Proper planning and arrangements must be made well in advance to accommodate thousands of yatris who visit the shrine during this sacred occasion.

Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor:sir, the Kashmiri Pandit community, along with countless devotees of Mata Kheer Bhawani, earnestly appeals to you to prioritize the above requests with the same benevolence and commitment with which you have announced the Yatri Bhawan.

We are confident that under your leadership, these essential initiatives will be implemented with the highest efficiency and sincerity.

Sir, your esteemed self has always been a pillar of support and a guardian of Kashmiri Pandit heritage, and we look forward to seeing these necessary improvements take shape at our most sacred pilgrimage site.

Once again Sir, we express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for your unwavering commitment to our cause.
