In some parts of India there is a wedding ritual in which the bride brings the groom to her family shrine and shows gauri the groom she is responsible for bringing in the brides life...we don't have that ritual in my family but when I had read it long time ago (Anthropology course!) I found it very fasinating...so when I got married I wanted to show my husband to durga ma...the one to whom I always pray...so we went to Vaishnu Devi...
I couldn't have walked 14 KM, that too steep at most places...without D. Perhaps mata rani knew that I couldn't have climbed on my own (what with age (ok and weight!) catching up! )...that she sent D to help me! But I did go there on foot...with his help of course...
When we talked for the first time, I had asked him if he was religious and he said an honest "No" but for our honeymoon he took me to Vaishnu Devi because he knew it would mean soooo much to me...He mentioned that the most radiant he has ever seen me was in the bhavan after more then 8 hours of walking....

Love is in the air.
Although the post is about Vaishnav Devi visit and the age old custom. Yet one can't help notice the underlying emotion of love that you share with each other. Its overflowing in each word of yours.
Aria,
You can count on me to give you company on the stairs of the temple :) I never knew that being a borderline atheist could be so rewarding !
Vi
I agree with Parikrama. There is definitely love in the air!
