Why you must visit Vaishno Devi at least once in your

Lifetime?
Situated in the Trikuta Hills in Jammu (India), cave temple
of Deity Vaishno Devi is among most revered Hindu
pilgrimages sites in the country. Celebrated as Mata Rani,
Vaishnavi and Trikuta; the goddess is a manifestation of
Hindu Mother Goddess, Mahalakshami. The cave is
believed to be the abode of 33 crore Hindu Gods, since
each one of these Gods have come to worship Goddess
Vaishno Mata during Aarti and have left some of their
symbolic marks inside. Believed to be a million year old,
the cave temple is a place where Goddess Shakti lives in
the form of three natural rock formations, named as Pindis
that represent the three Goddesses, Lakshmi, Saraswati
and Kali. Hindus also believe that one cannot possibly
seek for Darshan of Mata, unless she Herself calls her
followers.
There are devotees seeking Goddess’ blessings and
paying gratitude for wish fulfillment by walking bare feet
and crawling up to the main bhawan. Since Vaishno
Devi Mata is believed to bestow strength to the weak,
sight to the blind, wealth to the poor and child to the
childless couple; the shrine is counted among most visited
place in spite of being an unapproachable one in regard
with its location. Due to the huge belief and importance of
the Vaishno Devi shrine for getting all wishes fulfilled, the
shrine board has also made a lot of arrangements, such
as accommodation at affordable prices, security
arrangements, chopper services, etc. to keep things
organized and make pilgrims’ journey trouble-free.
The divine cave of Vaishno Devi, having symbols of
different Gods and Goddesses of the Hindu mythology, is
98 ft. long where on an average more than 10 million
pilgrims visit every year. Vaishno Devi temple or the
Bhawan is 13.5 km from the place Katra, which can be
