Bhairon Mandir

Bhairon Mandir

It is believed that the journey to Mata's shrine is complete only after visiting the shrine of Bhairon, 2.5 km from the Bhawan, on your way back. You have to collect your belongings before going to this shrine, as the return path from the Bhairon shrine joins the main path at Sanji Chatt.

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.
