Origin from 1377
The Rishi order is a mystical tradition of Sufism native to the Kashmir Valley, associated with religious harmony among Kashmiris. Its most prominent figures include Resh Mir Saeb and Nund Rishi, also known as Sheikh Noor-ud-din Wali, and the order has made a distinctive contribution to Kashmiriyat, the shared ethnic, social and cultural consciousness of the Kashmiri people.
