Kashmiri Pandits had converged from many parts of country and abroad at the temple to revive the tradition of celebrating the birthday of Lord Bhairav.
Kashmiri Pandit Sangarsh Samiti (KPSS), a body of non-migrant Kashmiri Pandits living in the Valley, had successfully campaigned in 2012 to free the temple land from encroachers.
