KASHMIR / KASHEER OR Earlier 'Kashyapa-mar' is well known
as the abode of Rishis, it has given place to thousands of Rishis and munis to its
calm and serene shelter for their mediatation. In the very early days, Kashmir was
inhabited by the Nagas . The penance and the efforts of Kashyapa transformed the
vast span of water called the 'Sati Sar' into a fertile valley and made it worth
inhabitation and worshiping heaven and helped to get rid of demon 'Jalodbhava'.
These Rishis did not neglect the nagas and rakshasas who were the original tribesmen
living in this land. They did not forget to take care of these Nagas and rakshasas
and from time to time satisfying their needs which changes into customs and festivals
for Kahmiri pandits.
