Muslim priests at 900-year old Shiva temple in Kashmir
2009 July 8
Pahalgam (Jammu and Kashmir): Situated on the banks of the icy Lidder river, a 900-year old Shiva temple is the only Hindu shrine in Kashmir valley which has Muslim priests.
After the migration of Kashmiri Pandits from a nearby village, two Muslim priests – Mohmmad Abdullah and Ghulam Hassan kept the doors of the Mamalaka temple open and bells continued to toll.
“We not only took care of temple but also held ‘aartis’ everyday,” Ghulam Hasan said.
