The main Vaishno Devi shrine has no Goddess idols of its own. The cave's end is decorated with shrines of 3 avatars of the Goddess namely - Mahakali, Mahasarasvati, and Mahalakshmi.
A rock just opposite these shrines oozes out water. This is said to have been marked by the presence of Lord Shiva.
The `Aarti` of the Goddess is performed twice daily. Once before the sunrise and second time - post sunset. The procedure is sacred yet lengthy.
