High,
High to the north, amidst snow capped mountains and sprawling forests
arise from within the shrine of Maa Vaishno Devi. Our journey takes you
to this awesome wilderness, a place so holy and sacred, a place of mystery
and adventure known to most in modern world.
The Yatra begins at Katra and pilgrims have to cover 13 km. of terrain on foot to reach the Darbar. Everyday of the year a mass of humanity surges up steep pathways that cut across the hillside, mile after mile. Popular belief holds that anybody who walks the Himalayan trail to Her abode to ask for a boon, "A Mannat", rarely goes back disappointed. A super natural power seems to draw them through the mountain and they climb up those great heights step by step, chanting "Jai Mata Di".
There are many who journey here year after year to pay obeisance regardless of their faith, belief, caste or creed, religion, class for Maa Vaishno Devi transcends all such barriers.
The
Holy Cave Shrine of Vaishno Devi is situated in a beautiful recess of
the Trikuta Mountains forming a part of the lower Himalayas as in the
State of Jammu and Kashmir. There are images of three deities - The Mahakali,
Maa Saraswati, and Maha Lakshmi.
So join us, bring your children, family and friends and together we will scale the spectacular and undaunted terrain to the heavenly abode of our Maa Vaishnodevi.
