Vaishno Devi Shrine in J&K

Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine is located at a height of 5300 feet on the holy Trikuta Hills of the Shivalik Hill Range. It is one of the oldest shrine of India. It is around 14 kms from Katra.

There are three natural pindies representing Maha Saraswati, Maha Lakshmi, Maha Kali, which represent creative, preservative, and destructive aspects of the Super Power. The creation of the goddess was for the destruction of Asura Mahishasura.

However another purpose of her creation was to generate the peace in the world and she through her penance could rise to higher levels of spirituality and ultimately merge with Vishnu.
