Mata Vaisnodevi mandir is the holiest shrine of India and it
is famous all over the world. It is located on trikoot parvat (hill), in katra
of udhampur district at Jammu. The temple is accessible by a journey of 13km
from katra. In northern part of India many rail services reach to Jammu. Vaisnodevi
mandir is placed at an altitude of 5200 feet above sea level. The temple is
managed by shri Mata vaisnodevi shrine board. Millions of people come to this
place every year.
Vaisnodevi took birth around 700 years ago. In those time
bhairon nath learn the powers of goddess.
With his tantric he started chasing the girl. Goddess ran to save her
life. When she feels thirsty she shot arrow in ground and the water comes out
till date and that place we call it Ban Ganga. Prints of her feet are also
found in bank of river. After incidents she took rest for meditation which is
known as Ardhkuari.
Bhairon Nath took nine months to find the cave. When goddess
knew she opened at the other end of the cave with her trident. The goddess ran
further on the hill and bhairon was tried to kill vaisnodevi. She emerged in
the form of Maha kali and she cut off bhairon nath head and hangs on the hill.
Mata claimed that whosoever comes to her cave also visit bhairon temple to
complete their pilgrimage.
In the holy Cave on can see “Pindis” of Maha Kali, Maha
Laxmi, and Maha Saraswati. She fulfill wishes of her devotes and no one goes
empty handed from her shrine. The pilgrims walk the whole way by chanting ‘Jai
Mata Di’ in groups. People buy fruits, coconut, and other things to make an
offering to goddess. Adequate water and lights all the way shrine for pilgrims.
The divine grace of the goddess brings her devotees every year.
