MATA VAISHNODEVI MANDIR The Goddess of Trikuta parvat

Moreover, this mighty mountain with its lengthiest range and highest peaks too has occupied a covetable place in geography by gaining ascendancy over other similars, existing in other continents like the Alps in Europe, the Andees in South America, the Appalachian in North America etc. Historically, religiously, commercially and strategically too, its position is unique and enviable. By virtue of possessing several untrodden peaks, it is luring many  nationals to try their best physical might in the realms of mountaineering and trekking. Alas their number is significably smallest!. With regard to the spiritual attraction it holds in store-it is immeasurably infinite. And it is inexhaustible, in every aspect. It is evidenced by the ever increasing influx of pilgrims and tourists round the year. The ancient shrines of universal veneration, like the much-hallowed Kedarnath, Badarinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri and Amarnath have indeed brought undying fame to the country, and evergreen laurels to our culture. Due to their association with the august Trio, each of them has carved out a spectacular niche in the literature and religion and so held in the highest esteem since yugas. But, they are dedicated to Sri Maha Vishnu, Lord Maheswar and river Goddesses, whereas Mata Vaishnodvvi Mandir, enshrined in the Himalayan foot hills, precisely in the cave of Trikuta mountain lying in the state of Jammu Tawi, is dedicated to the MOTHER goddess in her three manifestations of Maha Saraswati, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Kali. A rarity! A visit-worthy spot!! On any count!!!
