Bhairon Nath Ji

The journey to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji is not considered complete without Darshans at Bhairon Temple. Legend says that Bhairon was killed by Mata and later upon seeking an apology was granted the boon of being the final link of the Great Pilgrimage.

The Bhairon Temple is located at a distance of 1.42 kilometers from Bhawan. It is situated atop an adjacent hill and again involves a steep climb, which can be undertaken either on foot or on ponies or palanquins. The Bhairon temple is the highest point of the entire climb and is situated at an altitude of 6619 feet. Concrete steps as well as a concrete, paved, lighted track have been built right till the Bhairon temple. The Bhairon track is further connected to Sanjichhat.

Darshans inside the Bhairon temple are again in a rock form. It is believed that the head of Bhairon had fallen at this place while his body remained at the entrance of the Holy Cave of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji. Thus the rock form is round in the shape of a head and is covered in clothes of black colour, while the rock form worshipped as Lord Hanuman is draped in clothes of red colour. There is also a Havan Kund at Bhairon Temple. The ashes of this Havan Kund are considered sacred and it is believed that their application or merely keeping them in the house along with a daily Poojan of Bhairon Baba, protects the residents and especially small children from all types of curses, untoward happenings and mysterious ailments.

All necessary facilities are available around Bhairon temple also. After Darshans at Bhairon temple, instead of returning to Bhawan, one can directly proceed on the connecting track to Sanjichhat. The distance of the track from Bhairon temple to Sanjichhat is 2 kms. A view point named Om is located on this track.
