Vaishno Mata Temple is also known as Lal Mata Temple. As to why this temple is known by this name, it is said that Mata Lal Devi had seen Vaishno Devi in her dream and according to her, the Goddess had asked her to build a temple of her own here. Inspired by this dream, he decided to take inspiration from the temple located in Jammu and build a small replica of it here, as a result of which this temple was completed.
According to the legend, during Treta Yuga, Devi fought with Bhairav Nath here and ultimately Bhairav Nath died in that war. At the same place where Bhairav Nath died, the cave is situated where the pindi forms of Mahakali, Maha Saraswati and Maha Lakshmi are present. According to the story, when Bhairav Nath died, his head was cut and fell 3 kilometers away from where the temple of Bhairav Nath now stands.
Located on the Trikuta hill in Jammu, this discovery was made 700 years ago by a person named Shridhar.
