call from Ma to visit Vaishno Devi temple, if it is not Gods wish how
much one tries, all will be in vain as he will not get darshan (sight of Ma
Vaishno Devi ). People from all over the world visit the shrine, and covers
this challenging yatra with full devotion, chanting Jai Mata di, Jai Shera Wali
Mata. But at the end no devotee goes dishearten as Maa blesses everyone who
come to her door steps for the darshan.

Vaishno Devi cave is about 30 meter long tunnel with a very height of one and a
half meter. Devotees have to bow their head to pass this tunnel. After
completing the long stretch at the end of the cave the three pindies (stone
structures devoted to three forms of goddess mother - Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and
Mahasarasvati) can be seen. Folk with full dedication enter the cave in small
group for Vaishno devi darshan.
