Mata Vaishno Devi, also known as Trikuta, is said to have observed the 'Navratra' to pray for Lord Rama's triumph over Ravana. Lord Rama also promised her that the entire world will sing her praises and honour her as Mata Vaishno Devi, according to legend. Mata Vaishno Devi acquired immortality as a result of Rama's blessings, and thousands of pilgrims visit the shrine each year.
Bhairo Nath was actually dispatched by Gorakh Nath, a Mahayogi, to pursue Mata Vaishno Devi and persuade her to marry him. Gorakh Nath had a vision of Lord Rama and Vaishnavi having a discourse. The Mahayogi dispatched his chief pupil to get information about Vaishnavi since he was curious about her.
On the foothills of Trikuta, Mata Vaishno Devi had an Ashram. The ashram was established on Lord Rama's orders, who told Vaishnavi that she needed to build an ashram for them to reside in when they married in the Kaliyug.
After forgiving Bhairo Nath and allowing him to attain Moksha, the Goddess left her human form and assumed the form of a rock in order to continue her meditation undisturbed. As a result, Mata Vaishno Devi provides darshan to her devotees in the form of a five-and-a-half-foot-tall rock with three pindies or heads on it. The cave where she was converted is now Vaishno Devi's sacred shrine, with the pindies forming the sanctum sanctorum.
The origins of Mata Vaishno Devi Temple are shrouded in mystery. The legend about Pandit, on the other hand, seems to be the most appropriate. Pandit Sridhar is reported to have been a destitute sage who had a vision of Mata Vaishno Devi directing him to the temple. It's also said that whenever Sridhar got lost, Vaishno Devi appeared in his dreams to help him find his way.
In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Vaishno Devi is mentioned. According to the epic, Arjuna meditated on the Goddess before the Great War of Kurukshetra, seeking her blessings for victory. "Jambookatak Chityaishu Nityam Sannihilaye," which means "the one who continuously stays in the temple located on the slope of the mountain in Jamboo," is how Arjuna is reported to have described the Devi. According to various academics, Jamboo could be a reference to Jammu.
It is said that only a few lucky pilgrims are able to see the temple's main cave. The authority is believed to open the doors to the main cave anytime there are less than 10000 pilgrims for the Darshan. This is most likely to happen during the Vaishno Devi Yatra, which takes place in December and January. The Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine is an ancient cave with a lot of significance. This cave is said to house the body of Bhairo Nath, who was murdered by the Goddess with her Trishul (Trident). Bhairo Nath's head flew to the Bhairav Valley after Vaishnavi Devi beheaded him, according to mythology, but the remainder of his body stayed in the cave.
