About Vaishno Devi in Jammu

A trip to the Mata Vaishno Devi Temple is one of the most revered pilgrimage options that there are, with travelers coming from far and wide to ensure that the Goddess showers her blessings on them.

It is located in Katra at the Trikuta Mountains, which is a mountain with triple peaks, and is considered to be an important part of Hindu mythology. The inner sanctum of the Vaishno Devi temple is located at an altitude of 5200 ft. The temple attracts millions of pilgrims every year, from all over the country.

This Vaishno Devi tour is one of the most popular for Hindus because of its accessibility, as compared to the other pilgrimages such as the Amarnath Yatra and Char Dham Yatra. The 12 kms that one has to walk to get to the inner sanctum is an easy trek, and the paths are well paved and maintained. There are plenty of rest stops on the way, with washrooms and eateries. The main Vaishno Devi Temple also has the facility of giving out blankets and bedsheets to the pilgrims, along with a place to stay the night.

In terms of Vaishno Devi history, legend has it that Goddess Vaishnavi, an incarnation of Goddess Durga, spent more than a lifetime at a cave here, worshipping Lord Vishnu and waiting for him to appear to her. During this time, she faced several trials and tribulations such as being disturbed by Bhairon Nath and feeling disheartened on knowing that she would not be able to be together with the present incarnation of Lord Vishnu. In order to wait for Lord Vishnu to return to her, as he promised her, she went to immerse herself in meditation and prayers on the Trikuta mountain, now known as the Vaishno Devi cave. It is said that while waiting for her Lord to return she turned into stone, but still goes on waiting.
