Popular mythology related to Vaishno Devi
Slaughter of Bhaironath and construction of temple by Shridhar

Shridhar, a great devotee of Maa Vaishnavi, lived in Harshali village, 2 kilometers away from the present Katra town. He was sad because of being childless. On the day of Kanya Pujan, mother sat there along with 9 girls. Even after all the girls had left, the mother continued to sit there and ordered Sridhar to invite everyone. Baba Gorakhnath and his disciple Bhaironath were also present in the invitation.
Mother started serving food to everyone from a special type of vessel. When she reached Bhaironath, Bhaironath ordered meat and wine to be brought for the meal. When the mother refused, Bhairo wanted to catch the mother. But mother took the form of air and started flying towards Trikuta mountain. Mother entered a cave there and did penance for 9 years.
Hanuman ji protected the mother during this entire period and also fought with Bhairo. When Hanuman ji started getting tired in the war, then the mother took the form of Mahakali and separated Bhairo's head from his torso.
Later Mata Rani appeared in Sridhar's dream and blessed him with a child. Sridhar also set out in search of the mother. On finding the cave, he built a temple there and started offering prayers.

Incarnation of Adi Shakti and proposal of marriage to Shri Ram:
The second belief is that due to the loss of religion in the world and the increase of the forces of unrighteousness, the three forms of Adi Shakti – Maa Durga, Maa Saraswati and Maa Lakshmi gave birth to a girl child by their collective penance. This girl came to the house of Pandit Ratnakar in Rameshwar in the form of a daughter.
Childless for many years, Ratnakar named his daughter Trikuta. But due to being a part of Lord Vishnu, it became famous by the name Vaishnavi. When Trikuta came to know that Lord Vishnu has also incarnated in the form of Rama, then she began to do severe penance considering Lord Rama as her husband.
When Shri Ram reached Rameshwar after killing Ravana, he saw a meditating girl on the shore. When the girl asked Lord Rama to accept her as his wife, Rama replied, "I have married Sita in this birth and have taken the vow of a wife." Now I will take birth as Kali in Kaliyuga and marry you. Till that time you go to the Trikuta mountain of the Himalayas and do penance and remove the sufferings of the devotees.
She had also received the blessing of Shri Ram, who promised that she would live forever and serve the world as Trikuta.

At the time of the slaughter, Bhaironath's head had fallen in Bhairo Ghati, 8 kilometers away from Trikuta mountain.

Mother not only freed Bhairo from the cycle of rebirth, but also blessed him that without your darshan, my darshan would be incomplete. This place is also known as Bhaironath Temple.
