Vaishno Devi Pilgrimage

The Vaishno Devi Pilgrimage is a sacred journey to the Hindu shrine dedicated to Goddess Vaishno Devi, located in the Trikuta Hills of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Pilgrims trek approximately 12 kilometers from the base camp at Katra through scenic mountains, often on foot or via mule. The pilgrimage is considered highly spiritual, symbolizing devotion and seeking the goddess’s blessings for prosperity, health, and happiness. The shrine hosts a cave where a natural rock formation represents Goddess Vaishno Devi, and millions of devotees undertake this journey annually, reflecting deep faith and cultural tradition.
