The breathtaking Trikuta* Mountain top
Embracing the Vaishno Devi shrine
Watched me
As an equestrian
Slowly but surely
Climbing up
Moonlight shawl all over
Singing with other pilgrims
Walking, riding or in palanquins
In praise of the Mother
The breathtaking Trikuta Mountain top
Embracing the Vaishno Devi shrine
Waited with bated breath
For me and others
To cover those uphill serpentine 14 km
pathway
Sloughing off the material self
Being prayer itself
To offer our prayers
To Mother Vaishno Devi
And return safely
Which we did
*Trikuta is located in Jammu, which is one of the
three administrative divisions within Jammu and Kashmir, the northernmost State
in India. Trikuta, the
triple peak, is where the holy shrine of Vaishno Devi can be found. More
than 10 million pilgrims visit this shrine every year: Wikipedia
