JAMMU: The number of pilgrims visiting the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi during the current calendar year crossed 80 lakh today, thereby registering an increase of around 3 lakh pilgrims who paid obeisance at the Sanctum Sanctorum during the entire calendar year 2016.
It may be recalled that 77,76,604 pilgrims had visited the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Deviji in 2015 and 77,23,721 pilgrims in 2016, said an official spokesman. He said that these days, since 23 December, there is a growing increase in the number of devotees visiting the Holy Cave Shrine. This is perhaps because only 6 days are left for the year end and for the dawn of the New Year. (AGENCIES)
