History of Vaishno Devi Temple Haridwar

It is very difficult, like any other old shrines, to trace back the history of Vaishno Devi; however geological studies indicate that the holy shrine of Vaishno Devi is almost a million years old. Though the Vedic literature doesn’t refer to any goddess, however one can find the mention of Trikuta hills in Rigveda - the oldest of the four Vedas.

There are different versions of the origin of Vaishno Devi available, but according to the most popular version, the shrine of Vaishno Devi was discovered about 700 years back by Pandit Shridhar. According to the popular belief, Mata once helped in organizing a Bhandaara at Shridhar’s place. But, she had to leave the place to escape Bhairon Nath. As Mata left the place, Shridhar started giving up food in grief and started praying for Mata Vaishno Devi.

Mata came in his dreams and asked him to search for her at the cave in the Trikuta Mountain.
