On the occasion of Maha Ashtami (eighth day of Navratri) Navratri celebrations, Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha paid obeisance at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine today and launched a dedicated ‘live darshan facility’ and bi-lingual chatbot on the website of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board (SMVSB) for the devotees.
He also released a yatra guide book on the Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrimage, ‘The Bhakti of Shakti'.
“The live darshan facility is available at the official website of the Shrine Board, www.maavaishnodevi.org. This initiative has been taken by the shrine board for the larger facilitation of devotees,” an official statement said.
“In addition, with an aim to provide authentic information to pilgrims, a bi-lingual interactive chatbot ‘Shakti’ has been developed for the official website, augmenting the 24x7 toll-free helpline for addressing queries and grievances received from pilgrims.”
It is pertinent to mention that over 20,000 pilgrims are being facilitated every month by the call centre.
The chatbot will provide all the relevant information on services and facilities provided by the pilgrimage board and provide much-needed help to pilgrims to plan their visit in advance. It also features the relaying of video and audio content for pilgrim awareness and the latest updates at the holy shrine.
One of the major 51 shakti peethas, Mata Vaishno Devi Temple, becomes one of India’s most visited Hindu pilgrimage destinations in the mountains of Trikuta in Jammu and Kashmir's Katra during Chaitra Navratri.
