Devgon is one of the ritual foundations of a Kashmiri Pandit wedding — a formal invocation of family deities and ancestors, performed at each home, laying the groundwork of blessing before the couple's wedding rituals begin.
In Kashmiri — कॉशुर
देवगॉन छु कॉशुर पंडितन हिंज एक रस्म, शादी ब्रोंह। दोन घरन मंज़ छु कुल देवता ते पितर याद करान, आशीर्वाद खातर।
