The climb to Vaishno Devi temple starts from Katra on foot. While on the way there is Banganga river near Trikut Parvat. It is said that Vaishno Devi shed the Ganges river to quench the thirst of Hanuman by shooting an arrow at the ground. After the disappearance of Hanuman, Vaishno Devi washed her hair in water. Banganga River is also known as Balganga River. Pilgrims must bathe in the Banganga River for their purity. After Banganga is the Charan Paduka temple.

After visiting the Charan Paduka, the pilgrims come to the Ardhkuwari Temple. Vaishno Devi did penance for 9 months in this cave, like how a child stays in his mother's womb for 9 months to escape from Bhairav ​​Nath. After having darshan of Ardh Kunwari, pilgrims go to Bhairavnath Temple.

It is said that after Vaishno Devi killed Bhairav ​​Nath, Bhairav ​​Nath realized his mistake and asked for forgiveness. Vaishno Devi blessed him by saying that his pilgrimage would not be fruitful if the pilgrims do not have darshan of Bhairavnath. Pilgrims visit the head of Bhairavnath along with the temple building of Vaishno Devi. Pilgrims go inside the temple to have darshan of 3 Pindika (rocks) which represent Vaishno Devi.
Every year lakhs of devotees come to see Vaishno Devi.
