Kheer Bhavani Temple is a Hindu temple located near Tulumool village in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.

They believe that the goddess protects them. This temple is located about 24 km from Srinagar. This temple is famous as Kheer Bhavani and Ksheer Bhavani. The Goddess of the temple is worshiped by many names, such as Maharagya Devi, Ragnya Devi, Rajni Devi, Ragnya Bhagwati etc.

This temple is built on a sacred spring. It is believed that when the water of this spring turns black, it is considered an inauspicious sign for the people living there. It is said that when the floods occurred in Kashmir in 2014, the water of this spring became black.
There is also a mythological story associated with the temple, it is believed that Kheer Devi resided in Ravana's city of Lanka and was pleased with Ravana's devotion. But Kheer Devi got angry because Ravana kidnapped Sita Mata, so mother did not want to live in Lanka. Mata then instructed Sri Ram Bhakta Hanuman to install her idol in Tulmool village. In Kashmir, Mata is worshiped as Tripurasundari and Vaishnav while in Sri Lanka it is called Shyama of the Goddess. It is believed that after Ravana worshiped the goddess, he offered her Kheer, which her accepted and has since been called Kheer Bhavani.
