Mata Vaishno Devi is worshipped as a manifestation of the Divine Mother — said to embody Maha Kali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswati — who dwells in a cave high in the Trikuta mountains near Katra, Jammu. Millions of pilgrims climb to her shrine each year crying 'Jai Mata Di.' This aarti, signed by the devotee Dhyanu Bhagat (to whom the Mother is said to have granted darshan), is sung at the close of her worship.
✦ As told in scripture
It is told that the Mother appeared to her devotee Dhyanu Bhagat to honour his pure faith. To this day pilgrims climb the Trikuta hills with the cry 'Jai Mata Di,' singing this aarti, and return saying their heartfelt wishes were granted at her cave.
