Location of Veeri
Veeri is situated 2 kms away in the right side of
the well known river Jhelum (Veith- Vatasta) in south Kashmir Anantnag. It is 7
kms to the north of the Anantnag city and 5 kms to the south of Bijbehara and
is about 56 kms from Srinagar city. It is 850 kms away from the national
capital New Delhi and about 250 kms from Jammu. It is approximately 5000 meters
above sea level. The Veeri falls in the vicinity (jurisdiction) of Tehsil
Bijbehara in Dachnipora block (Pargana) and is having the status of Halga. The
Veeri lies right in the middle of the Anantnag district; rather it lies in the
heart of Anantnag district. It shares its boundaries in the east with village
Nanil, Kanelwan and Nowbough, in the southwest with Kanderpora and Guree, in
the North West with Laribal, Batagound and Gadiseer, and in the west with river
Jhelum.
It is generally
believed that the history of Veeri started with the advent of Hazrat-i-Sayeed
Ahmad RoomiR.A in veeri near about in last decade of 14th century. But
unfortunately, we are handicapped to have an abundant material about Veeri at
our disposal. It is because that the early history of Veeri is obscure.
