The way to reach the cave is difficult
The way to reach this cave is difficult, so the path currently being used for darshan is not a natural path. Keeping in view the increasing number of devotees day by day, an artificial route has been made. This road was constructed in 1977. At present, devotees enter the court through this path.
good luck getting in
Please tell that very few people get the privilege of going to the court of Mata from the ancient cave. The door of this ancient cave is opened only when there are less than 10,000 devotees. Usually this happens in the months of December and January and February. Sometimes the cave remains open even before Holi in the month of March.
Importance of the cave
This ancient cave has great importance in the court of Mata Vaishno Devi. Most of the people wish to enter the court only through this cave. Actually, Mata killed Bhairon Baba here with her trishul. Due to which his severed head fell in the Bhairon Valley and the body remained here. So whoever gets a chance to visit this cave, considers himself blessed.
Ganges water flows
