Vaishno Devi is one of the major holy places for Hindus, it is famous for the Vaishno Devi Temple which is known as the holiest site. Inside Vaishno Devi Temple houses three goddesses Maa Saraswati, Maa Lakshmi and Maa Kali which are known as 'pindis' but there is no physical deity present. People call them Moonh Maangi Muradein Poori Karne Wali Mata (the mother who fulfils the wishes of her children). 

Katra located in Jammu and Kashmir houses Vaishno Devi Temple at the foot of the Trikuta mountains. Thousands of devotees daily visit the temple because mainly Indians are aware of the temple's construction origins. Believers view Shri Vaishno Devi Temple as a divine place that shelters Goddess Vaishno Devi who is the avatar of the divine form of Goddess Durga.  She took this avatar to destroy evil and provide wealth, joy and health to her devotees. 

Maa Vaishno Devi was the daughter of King Ratnakara and Queen Samrddi. According to Hindu mythology, it said that Mata Vaishno Devi was a great devotee of Lord Rama. When she was a little girl Bhaironnath who was a famous Hindu Tantric saw Devi Maa at an agricultural fair and he fell madly in lusty love with her. When Vaishnavi became an adult demon Bhairavnath tried to chase her, Goddess Vaishnavi took shelter in a cave “Vaishno Devi Temple Jammu Kashmir”, to escape from Baba Bhairav Nath and meditated there for 9 months Hanumanji guarded the cave against outside and then she defeated Bhairavnath by taking Maa Kali's avatar but he begged for forgiveness and Maa Vaishno Devi saved him because she was kind. And after that pilgrims continue to go to Bhairavnath Temple after obtaining blessings at Maa Vaishno Devi Temple Jammu.
