Traditional Water Mill in Hammam-Markoot Village: A Glimpse into Kashmir's past
Traditional Water Mill in Hammam-Markoot Village: A Glimpse into Kashmir's Past
Hammam-Markoot, Rafiabad - A traditional water mill is still functioning in the village of Hammam-Markoot, Rafiabad. These water mills, once widespread across the region, have become a rarity due to modernization and the availability of electric mills. However, the one in Hammam-Markoot stands as a living testament to the region's rich cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship.
Today, I had the opportunity to witness the operation of this ancient water mill, which relies entirely on the flow of water from nearby streams. The mill works through a fascinating mechanism: the water wheel, powered by the force of flowing water, rotates a large stone grinder that crushes grains such as wheat and maize into flour.
The process is simple yet efficient, and its eco-friendly nature makes it a sustainable practice even today. In an era where modern machinery has taken over, this water mill offers a glimpse into the past, showing how traditional methods once met the needs of the community.
As I watched the mill in action, it was a reminder of how deeply connected the people of Kashmir were to the natural resources around them. The water mill not only served as an essential part of daily life but also symbolized the ingenuity of Kashmiri ancestors in harnessing the power of nature.
Unfortunately, with the advent of electricity and faster, more convenient grinding techniques, many of these mills have disappeared from the landscape. The one in Hammam-Markoot, however, continues to serve its purpose, providing flour to local residents and preserving a part of Kashmir’s agrarian history.
It is vital to preserve such traditions and stories for future generations. The traditional water mill is not just a tool but a part of the cultural fabric that ties the people of Kashmir to their land and heritage.
