Bhairav Temple forms an important part of the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage and is visited by many devotees following their darshan at the main shrine.

Upon seeking forgiveness, he was granted a shrine along the route to her temple. A ropeway connects Vaishno Devi Bhawan with the temple, reducing the journey time to approximately three to five minutes.
