Kashmiri Pandits return home

12, 2008, Kashmiri Pandits, who fled the Valley following the eruption of militancy in the early 1990s, are flocking the venerated shrine of Hindu goddess Ragnya Devi in north Kashmir.

The number of devotees thronging the Khir Bhawani shrine as part of an annual pilgrimage has been on the rise since 1997, when the shrine re-opened for the public after a brief hiatus.
