vaishno devi darshan (Jammu-Katra)
Vaishno Devi is a sacred
shrine revered by Hindus, dedicated to the goddess Devi. Located in the
town of Katra in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, it is one of the most
popular places of worship in India. At an altitude of 5200 feet and a
distance of approximately 12 kilometers (7.45 miles) from the town, the
Temple of Vaishno Devi is frequented every year by hundreds of thousands
of pilgrims.
The shrine is a holy cave, where the Devi (Goddess) had to unwillingly
kill Demon king Bhairon Nath after being chased by her for a long time.
The demon's intention was to stop the Goddess from attaining a high level
of spirituality, which she was trying to achieve through tapasya, and
marry her. Vaishno Devi had to flee to the mountains to continue her
quest. Some other legends associated with this pursuit are that of the
Goddess hiding in a cave (Adhkawari or Garbh Joon) for nine months, and of
granting divine forgiveness to the demon as he plead mercy while dying.
The Goddess granted a boon to the demon, whereby every devotee in order to
ensure completion of the pilgrimage, had to visit Bhairon Nath's temple
near the shrine. Meanwhile Vaishno Devi assumed the shape of a rock with
three pindis (heads) and immersed herself into meditation forever.
