In Kashmiri mythology, Bramrachokh (, also written as Bramarācōkh or Rachok) is a demon or mythical creature who inhabits desolate areas and fools travellers by pretending to be a light, in the manner of a will-o'-the-wisp.
Bramrachokh has a pot full of fire balanced on his head, and on his forehead a strong, shining eye. It is said that if a traveller encounters Bramrachokh's light in a remote location, it will lead them to a ditch or a cave, or to their death. Village children who see lights burning and extinguishing in the distance sometimes attribute this to Bramrachokh.
