What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Shri Mata Vaishnodevi Parikrama Marg, an Rs 80 crore project, was launched on November 1, 2026. This 38-kilometre circular road encircles the Trikuta Hills and is modeled on the Govardhan Parikrama of Mathura-Vrindavan. The project is intended to benefit the Udhampur and Katra regions.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The road is expected to increase the time pilgrims spend in the area, as they may linger to perform the Parikrama and visit temples along the route. This increased presence could drive greater demand for local lodging, eateries, transport, and produce in the Katra, Reasi, and Udhampur belts.
