As the Navratri festival commences, the Vaishno Devi shrine has undergone extensive preparations to welcome a large influx of devotees. The 13-kilometer path, stretching from Darshani Deodi to the Bhawan, has been adorned with vibrant floral displays and decorative lighting to mark the occasion.

Local authorities and shrine officials have readied the infrastructure to accommodate the thousands of pilgrims expected to undertake the yatra (pilgrimage) during this period. The festive atmosphere is intended to enhance the experience for those traveling the route to the mountain shrine. While the report focuses on the aesthetic and logistical preparations, it highlights the significant scale of the event, which draws large crowds annually during the Navratri season. The track remains the primary access point for visitors, and officials have ensured that the route is prepared for the high volume of foot traffic anticipated over the coming days.
