Jammu, March 22 -- The pilgrimage to the Mata Vaishno Devi temple atop Trikuta hills in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district resumed on Sunday after its temporary suspension due to heavy rush, officials said. Authorities on Saturday suspended the pilgrimage to the cave shrine due to a heavy rush at the Bhawan, as 39,000 devotees paid obeisance at the temple till late in the afternoon.
Chaitra Navratri started on March 19 and will end on March 27.
"The yatra has been resumed after temporary suspension due to a heavy rush at the Bhawan," a shrine board official said. He said that registration for the yatra resumed this morning in Katra.
