The Kheer Bhawani temple is situated at Tullamulla village in the Ganderbal district of central Kashmir, which is constructed over a sacred spring.
The holy spring is known to change its colour into hues of red, pink, orange, green, blue, and white. The black shade of the spring water is believed to be inauspicious
