    History

    The history of Nau Devi Cave Temple is intertwined with the legend of Vaishno Devi. It is believed that during her battle with Bhairavnath, the goddess took refuge in this cave. She manifested herself in nine different forms to protect herself, and thus the cave became known as Nau Devi (Nine Goddesses). The exact age of the temple is unknown, but it has been a place of worship for centuries. Local folklore and traditions have passed down the story of the goddess and the cave, adding to its religious significance. Over time, the temple has undergone renovations and expansions, but its core sanctity remains preserved.
