Mata Vaishno Devi Temple and Prasad

Mata Vaishno Devi Temple

India is a country known for its religious diversity, with Hinduism being one of the major religions with a substantial number of followers. One of the most well known pilgrimages of Hindu religion is Mata Vaishno Devi Temple, a holy shrine dedicated to Mata Vaishnavi, who is an incarnation of Maa Durga. The world famous temple lies nestled in the Trikuta Mountains, at an altitude of 5300 feet, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Millions of devotees from all over India and across the world embark on this pious pilgrimage every year, to pay obeisance to Ma Vaishnavi and seek her blessings for fulfillment of all their wishes. The pilgrimage, which is done by foot, is a difficult one, but its difficulty does not dissuade the devoted worshippers from taking up this tasking journey and some even do it barefooted. However, those who cannot reach the temple by foot, can do it on horseback and now, even helicopter services are available to the Bhawan, the main shrine.

Mata Vaishno Devi Temple

The main shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi, popularly known as the Bhawan is located inside a cave which enshrines the three Pindies of Maa Adi Shakti, representing Maa Saraswati, Maa Lakshmi and Maa Kali. The cave extends over a distance of 98 feet and a stream of cold water called Charan Ganga runs through it. Pilgrims have to move across this stream to reach the sanctum and have the darshan of the Pindies, which are believed to bring happiness in their lives and drive away all kinds of sorrows. Reaching the temple and paying their obeisance to Maa after a long and difficult yatra brings supreme joy, peace and happiness to the devotees. They are given the Prasad and sacred water from the shrine, which they can carry home, as the blessing of Mata Vaishno Devi. The vaishno devi Prasad can now be received online with the help of Bhakti Online.

Further ahead, devotees visit the Bhairo Temple, which has been built as a tribute to Bhairo Nath, who sought forgiveness from Mata after she beheaded him.
