About Bhairavnath Temple in Jammu

The Bhairavnath Temple in Jammu is a must visit stop on your pilgrimage tour, since legend has it that without completing a visit to this temple, the entire journey to Vaishno Devi will be considered futile.

According to most mythological versions of how the temple was formed, Bhairavnath or Bhairo Nath was a most accomplished priest, who became enamored with Mata Vaishnavi, and started following her around. Unable to shake him off or deter him, she decided to retire to the mountains. However, Bhairavnath followed here there as well, and was at the receiving end of the Goddess’ ire. She cut off his head, which fell a few kms away. After death, Bhairavnath realised his mistake and pleaded for forgiveness. The Goddess couldn’t take back her fatal blow, so she ensured that a temple would come up exactly where Bhairavnath’s head fell, and also decreed that whoever wanted to visit Vaishno Devi would also have to visit Bhairavnath Temple, otherwise the journey would not be considered complete.

Back when the routes were not paved or well-maintained, getting to Bhairavnath Temple was not an easy task due to the steep climb. These days there is a ropeway that operates from the Vaishno Devi Temple to the Bhairavnath Temple, making it very easy to reach the temple. The ropeway, known as Bhairon Ghati Passenger Ropeway, cuts down traveling time from 2 hours to 5 minutes.

Vineet's 4 days trip to Jammu

Petals of chinar.. a hotel in srinagar and our package, They delivered the water bottles after three hours. If we order non-vegetarian food, that's what we should get, but in many places we get vegetarian food. Plz tell the agency to be serious about basic services. Hotel of sonamarg its best,also pahalgam. communication by the travel agency is good. Affordable tour package.

Amit's 5 days trip to Jammu

Overall the trip to Kashmir is nice and a must visit place for the travelers once in a lifetime. The place is really a heaven but need certain points of improvements regarding uncertainty/ unforeseen events, safety & security, overprice/overbudget places & over tip culture everywhere despite of best services. Trip was organized fine by 'Travelancer kashmir' company via agent Iqra madam initially and then Ishrat madam, however there are some issues wrt itinerary provided by the company regarding compliances/ follow up of hotels ratings and their hospitality/ services which needs to be taken seriously further in future for other Travelers.

A Shakti Peeth is described as those places where pieces of Sati (wife of Lord Shivfell when he went into a trance mode, following her wrongful death. So, no the Bhairavnath Temple is not a Shakti Peeth.

Apart from trekking and the ropeway, the only way you can reach the place is via riding a mule.
