Why to visit Vaishno Devi Temple, Jammu
One of the most revered Hindu pilgrimage places in the nation is Vaishno Devi. Along with 33 other Hindu deities, it is thought that Goddess Parvati or Goddess Shakti resides in the well-known cave shrine of Vaishno Devi.
The naturally occurring pindies, or rock formations, that are submerged in water and are thought to represent Mata Vaishno Devi, are housed in the cave. One of the 108 Shakti Peethas, the highly revered holy sites of Hindus, is the unusual cave temple.
The "pindis" of Maha Kali, Maha Lakshmi, and Maha Saraswati may be seen inside the cave. It is believed that Mata Vaishno Devi bestows blessings. No one leaves her shrine empty handed because she grants the wishes of her followers.
Horses are available to take pilgrims up to the Hill at their convenience. People, however, like to hike from Katra to the Bhawan (Cave). Jai Mata Di is chanted collectively as the pilgrims traverse the entire route.
In Katra, there are many stores where people can buy flowers, coconuts, dry fruits, and other items to give to the Goddess. Water and public convenience facilities have been provided along the entire route to the temple to help the pilgrims.
