Shri Mata Vaishno Devi and Kaal Bairav Yatra , Katra , Jammu and Kashmir
Shri Mata Vaishno Devi is a revered Hindu pilgrimage site located in the Trikuta Mountains in Jammu and Kashmir, India. Devotees believe that Mata Vaishno Devi, an incarnation of the Hindu Mother Goddess Durga, grants the wishes of those who visit her shrine. The pilgrimage involves a trek of approximately 12 kilometers from the base camp at Katra to the Holy Cave where the deity is enshrined.
Kaal Bhairav, also known as Bhairon Nath, is a manifestation of Lord Shiva associated with protection and destruction of evil. According to the legend, Bhairon Nath pursued Vaishno Devi, and when he was ultimately defeated and beheaded by the goddess at the entrance of the cave, his severed head fell at a distant place now known as Bhairav Ghati. His spirit pleaded for forgiveness, and the goddess granted him a boon that every devotee would need to visit his temple after the darshan (sight) of Vaishno Devi to complete their pilgrimage.
Both sites hold significant spiritual importance and attract millions of devotees annually.
