The canopies of the idols are made up of silver and gold. The devout offer coconuts and red scarves here. During winters the route upwards can be blocked by snows, but summers are pleasant. The entire route has been electrically lit for the convenience of the pilgrims. Passes for this yatra are available at Katra.
Overnight accommodations are available at the shrine.
Our myths say that when Vaishnav Devi was chased by Bhairon, the demon she stayed here. She slayed him outside this shrine and therefore it is obligatory part of the pilgrimage to visit the temple dedicated to Bhairon. It is said that a visit here absolves a person from his sins.
