3 of 34: A priest applies vermilion on the forehead of an elderly Kashmiri Hindu migrant during the annual fair at Kheer Bhawani temple in Jammu, India, Saturday, June 19, 2010. Kheer Bhawani temple originally in Srinagar, was built in Jammu as well by exiled Kashmiri Hindus. Since the start of the uprising by Kashmiri Muslims, long mistrustful of the Indian government, for independence from mainly Hindu India, or a merger with mostly Muslim Pakistan which controls the other part of Kashmir, the Hindu population has plummeted. Of the estimated 200,000 Hindus, known as Pandits, who lived in the Kashmir Valley once famed for its peaceful coexistence between religions only some 10,000 remain. (AP Photo/Channi Anand)
