It is believed that Mother Ragya Mata (Kheer Bhavani or Ragyana Devi) appeared to Ravana after being pleased with his devotion. After which Ravana established her as the Kuldevi of Sri Lanka. After some time, due to Ravana’s behavior and bad deeds, the goddess became angry with him and expressed her desire to leave Sri Lanka. After this, when Lord Rama killed Ravana, he gave the task to Lord Hanuman to choose and establish his favorite place for the Goddess. On this the goddess chose Tulmula of Kashmir. It is believed that during the exile, Ram used to worship Ragyana Mata, then Maa Ragya Mata was established in Ragini Kund.
