Vaishno Devi Havan Booking: In a move to fulfil the long-standing desire of countless pilgrims, the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board (SMVDSB) has officially announced the opening of a dedicated ‘havan facility’ at the holy shrine. This new facility will allow devotees to perform ‘havan or yagna’ directly within the shrine premises.
The shrine board constructed a large Yagyashala in the Mata Bhavan complex years ago. For many years, the facility was used by the board to organise Goddess Chandi Yagya during the Chaitra and Sharadiya Navratras. The Yagya drew thousands of devotees from across the nation.

श्राइन बोर्ड द्वारा शुरू की गई इस दिव्य पहल का उद्देश्य श्रद्धालुओं को माँ भगवती के चरणों में शांति, सुख और समृद्धि की कामना के साथ यज्ञ करने का अवसर प्रदान करना है।

However, until the recent announcement, the Yagyashala did not offer dedicated facilities for pilgrims to conduct their own private havan or yagna. The shrine board has now made the havan-yagna facility available for devotees, with a fee. Pilgrims wishing to perform Havan can book their slot either online through the official channels or through offline counters.
Vaishno Devi Havan Fee Details:
- Rs 3100 per member
- Rs 5100 for two members
- Rs 11000 for five members
Daily Havan Timings:
The havan-yagna ceremonies are scheduled to take place in four dedicated slots throughout the day:
9:00 AM – 10:00 AM (Morning)
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Morning)
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (Afternoon)
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM (Afternoon)
On Tuesdays and Fridays, the yagna will be conducted only in the first slot, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Devotees can contact the Durga Bhavan reception for on-the-spot offline bookings.
