The Vaishno Devi Temple is in the Trikuta Hills of Katra, in Jammu & Kashmir, a renowned pilgrim point for the Hindu Mother Goddess Adi Shakti. Vaishno Devi is believed to be an incarnation of the combined divine energies of the Hindu goddesses Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, and Saraswati, which are supposed to draw millions of devotees yearly. Legend has it that in a request to get rid of the nefarious intentions of the Tantric Bhairavnath, the Goddess hid in these hills and finally beheaded him. Vaishno Devi is among the 108 "Shakti Peethas" of Hindus.
