After
a trek of about 12 km from Katra (base camp), one reaches the holy cave, which
is the abode of Maa
(mother) Vaishno Devi and
is located at an altitude of 5200 ft in a mountain called Trikuta. It is
situated in Jammu and Kashmir, near Katra town.
Vaishno
Devi is present here in the form of three rock heads, called the Pindies,
instead of a statue. Due to the strong faith of the people, every year millions
of them come to take the blessings of Maa Vaishno Devi. It is said that
it is Maa Vaishno who decides her visitors.
It is she who calls her devotees to
her doorsteps. Anyone making a successful journey to her shrine is there
because of her wish. The shrine is open all year round.
