Welcome to Maa Vaishno Devi Dham !
Sh. J C. Chaudhry is the Managing Trustee and the founder of Maa Vaishno Devi Dham at Vridavan. With his staunch belief in Maa Vaishno devi, who has always acted as a source of support and inspiration for him, he set out to establish an Dham which will give all the devotees of Maa Vaishno Devi an opportunity to worship their Goddess and serve the poor along side.
Maa Vaishno Devi is believed to grant all four boons to her devotees, namely, Dharma (Righteousness), Artha (Material Pursuits), Kaama (Contentment) and Moksha (Enlightenment).
Maa Vaishno's Murti (Statue) is the star attraction of the Dham. This statue is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on the Dham land, which is situated at the world-renowned land of childhood homeland of Lord Shri Krishna.
The total mass of the statue at the foundation level including that of lion and platform above is approximately 1,700 ton. The making of this paired idol employed approximately over 400 tons of the steel and concrete, including all the objects, weapons and accessories that the Maa (The Mother Goddess) keeps with her.
While constructing this magnificent structure, many challenges were faced regarding the cantilever design of Tail of Lion, Gaddha (Mace), Chakra (Spinning wheel), Trishul (Trident), Dhanush (Bow), Shankha (Conch Shell) and Flower. All this was intelligently managed with time tested mathematical calculations and the best engineering practices available.
The statue of the goddess could not have been complete without her royal carrier, Lion. The statue is seated charmingly atop her ferocious carrier. Right next to this splendid figurine, there is a striking a totem of god Shri Hanuman, the guardian of Maa Vaishno.
The Goddess, Maa Viashno devi is one of the leading goddesses of the Indian Pantheon, which has a following of over a 1 Billion (Hindus) across the world.
