This year too kashmir had snowfall on  Herath or shivratri . kashmiri Pandits  consider it auspicious .

Zi basmush jaam e bartan

junaarush maar bur gardhan

ravaanush gung bar sar boodh

shab shaahe ki mun deedham

( Lines from a persian poem composed by Ali mardan Khan the Afghan Governor of kashmir in praise of lord shiva)

I saw him with ash smeared all over his body,

A snake dangling his neck like the Yageopavit ( jan

aioo)

Behold! River ganga flowing down his tresses .

Perhaps that was maheshwara whom i saw last night
