"Henzey Vanvun" is a unique and traditional type of song exclusively sung by Kashmiri Pandit women in the Kashmiri language during special yajnia ceremonies such as the Thread ceremony ("yagnopavit") and weddings. These songs are performed near the yajnia mandap, adding a sense of festivity and reverence to the occasion. While women enjoy singing these songs, many may not fully understand their meaning, often only following the melody and notes.

The book titled "Henzay Vanvun Heemal" is authored and published by Pushkar Nath Raina from Manorama Vihar, Bori Jammu. Though Raina may not be widely recognized among the state's top writers or literary figures, his contributions to Kashmiri literature and culture are significant.

In this book, Raina explores the importance of these traditional songs, blending the festive nature of "Wanwun" with the local folklore of the valley, particularly the Naga culture represented by "Heemal." This fusion stirs the author's heart as he, along with many others, experiences cultural and political displacement after the exodus from the beloved vale of Kashmir.

"Henzay Vanvun Heemal" is a collection of religious and folk songs, often performed in a litany style, that celebrate joyous occasions like marriage or yagnopavit. Through his work, Raina sheds light on the rich heritage and traditions of the Kashmiri Pandit community, preserving their customs and providing insight into the cultural significance of these cherished songs.
