Have you ever wondered why so many famous Devi temples are found on mountains, hills or difficult-to-reach heights? From Maa Vaishno Devi and Maa Kamakhya to Maa Vindhyavasini, Jwala Devi, Naina Devi, Mansa Devi and Saptashrungi Devi, the pattern is hard to miss. But according to Hindu spiritual traditions, this is not simply about choosing a beautiful location. The mountain itself carries a deeper meaning. It represents the meeting point between the human world and the divine, while the climb represents the effort required to move from the ordinary towards the sacred.
