Outrage has spread across Kashmir after the Waqf Board imposed a ban on distributing Tahari, a traditional rice dish, and feeding birds inside dargahs and khanqahs in the region. Devotees and common people have described the move as direct interference in age-old faith practices that have been carried on for centuries at the region's revered dargahs and khanqahs. They say that distributing Tahari and feeding birds have long been part of traditions associated with these religious sites.
