Scene at the climbing path leading to the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir state in India. This is a 14 km trek from the base station of Katra to the religious shrine, and you find people doing this trek with a lot of fervor, and some of them do not even feel tired. There are shops in between where people can buy some essential items.
The shrine of Vaishno Devi is one of the most revered shrines for the Hindu religion, being the second most visited such shrine (with the southern shrine of Tirupati) being the most visited shrine in India. The Vaishno Devi Mandir is dedicated to the manifestation of Shakti and is a manifestation of the mother goddess (a supreme being who is extremely powerful and plays a very important role in creation). The crowd of devotees is such that a view of the stones inside the cave (the cave is housing stones that are supposed to be a representation of the goddess) is very brief. The amount of fervor of devotees visiting the shrine is incredible, and one can see people on the journey chanting religious slogans honoring the goddess.
The temple is located in the northern-most Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, more easily reachable from Jammu than from Srinagar. It is reached from the base town of Katra, and is a walking distance of 14km on an uphill climb. Over a period of time, the path leading to the shrine has been made more comfortable, from the earlier steep stair climb to a modern path (on which horses or palanquin carriers can carry people) and part of the distance is also covered through a battery powered vehicle. In addition, there is also a helicopter ride to the shrine, which is very comfortable for those who want to do a quick journey or those who are unable to do the physical rigors of the trip.
For many people, the shrine of Vaishno Devi is one that they would like to pray to soon after marriage, or when they have desired something and prayed to the goddess for the same.

@Vaishno Devi Temple, Jammu and Kashmir.
At first i thought the only thing which I was going to enjoy on this trip was the smoke emanating from the burning waste, which also ruined the landscape. However, the evening was much more pleasant. The atmosphere suddenly went from hazy to clean, as they started collecting waste which would be burnt the next day.

I shoot the dabbawala and imbibe most of his qualities in my own work, his silence , his patience and his respect for commitment timing against all odds without excuse.
And whenever I meet him I talk to him ask him about life and honestly he never complains.. I do.

I was at Pydhonie than took a cab to CP tank with my wife , made her hang outside , as she was wears the hijab and entered Madhav Bagh I was searching for some accessories..for a film and could not believe a world within Madhav Bagh a unique temple complex but yet could not find a locket of Ma Vaishnodevi.. I am now getting it from a friend in Surat... I could not find it at Mumbadevi too a few days back.
