Vaishno
Devi
Faith has moved mountains. From a cave shrine tucked away deep in the the
Trikuta Mountains of Kashmir to a bustling religuous centre, the call of
Mata Vaishno Devi has drawn and converted many a non-believer. Those who
come as tourists leave as staunch followers singing her praises. This is
the ultimate refuge of the helpless. The one place that answers your
prayers. Where all dilemas are resolved. So come with faith - that's all
that is asked of you.
Location: The holy cave shrine of Vaishno Devi is nestled in a
beautiful recess of the Trikuta Mountains forming a part of the lower
Himalayas. It is located 61 km north of Jammu at a height of 5,200 feet
above the sea level in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. In the cave there
are images of three deities viz. the Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and
Mahasaraswati.
Season: The shrine is visited all through the year, but the path
is difficult during the winters when the route is often blocked by
snow-fall.
