The words maa and mata are commonly used inIndiafor mother, and thus are often used in connection with Vaishno Devi.The words mandir and mandira are commonly used in India for Hindu temple, and so these words are also often used in connection with Vaishno Devi. Vaishno Devi Mandir (Hindi:वैष्णोदेवी मन्दिर) (Punjabi:ਵੈਸ਼ਨੋ ਦੇਵੀ ਮੰਦਰ) is one of the holyHindutemples dedicated toShakti, located at theTrikuta Mountainswithin theIndianstate ofJammu and Kashmir.Scriptural BasisVaishno devi is one of 108shakti peetha, the story of Vaishno Devi is found in Chanddi up-purana. When Vishnu Bhagwan cuts Sati Maas bodyinto 108 peethas then 52 body parts fell onto earth atmosphere and rest of the 56 fell on other planets. Out of which the Blessing Hand of Goddess Sati had fallen on Planet Venus orShukra. GoddessLakshmiis considered to be the ruling planet ofShukrahence also known as Goddess ofVenus. But in the beginning of Treta Yug, there was a devil called Mur, he got the boon fromBrahmathat he cannot be killedby any human being, god, trinity, or any one born onEarth. Eventually in agods-demon war, Demon Mur ran behind his greatest enemyVishnu, who went to the place where was theshakti peetha of Goddess Sati on the Planet venus. Goddess Lakshmi insisted goddess Parvati, the next incarnation ofAdi Parashaktiafter Sati, for help, thereby goddess Sharda and goddessParvatiin the formKalika, went to the region. Goddess Lakshmi incarnated in spiritual form, because physically, she had already been taken birth as GoddessVedavatiwho later on wouldbecomeSitain next incarnation. So Mother Parvati herself gave her physical appearance, with a soul ofLakshmi and Goddess of knowledge, Saraswati. The girl born was named Kumari. Saraswati, Kali and Lakshmi dropped three pindies (Sacred stones) as their true forms, where they will be present till the endof Kaliyuga. To make the devil not known about the birth of the miracle goddess, LordShivaShifted the mountain to Earth. When the devil entered the place who was running after Lord Vishnu saw a little girl. Shekilled him and there by, Vishnu got another name called Murari.Since her soul was of Lakshmi so she wanted to have Vishnu as her consort. She incarnated in the house of Lord Ratnakar, this time Narada named her Trikuta also by the names kumari etc.
