According to Hindu mythology, mother goddess Vaishno Devi hid in the cave while escaping the demon, Bhairon Nath. While running she felt thirsty and shot an arrow into the earth from where water sprang out. This place is now called Banganga. The Goddess rested at Charan Paduka where the imprint of her feet got embedded into the earth. She hid and meditated in a cave at Adhkawari where she stayed for nine months. Since that time the cave has come to be known as Garbh Joon (the womb). When Bhairon finally located her in the cave she blew an opening with her trident and escaped.
