Sacred History & Legend

Mata Vaishno Devi is revered across India as the abode of the Divine Mother in the Trikuta mountains near Katra. Devotees begin the yatra from Katra and walk about 12 km up to the holy cave, calling out 'Jai Mata Di' along the way. Inside the cave the Goddess is worshipped as three natural rock forms (pindis) representing Maha Kali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswati. The shrine is managed by a statutory board and is known for its pilgrim facilities and free langar.

Architectural Highlights

A natural cave shrine reached by a paved mountain track, with resting stops, langar halls and a modern darshan queue complex at Bhawan.
