Photolog of Vaishno Devi Yatra
Trip to Vaishno Devi - Every Picture tells a Story
It is said that you can’t go for Vaishno Devi Yatra until and unless there’s a calling from divine goddess herself. Do I believe it now? Well I am still considering in the meanwhile here are a few pics I took during my Vaishno Devi Yatra.
