Trikuta is a three-peaked mountain in Hindu mythology. It is one of the twenty mountains surrounding Maha Meru (Mount Meru) the home of Brahma. The height is said in the Bhagavata Purana to be 10,000 yojanas, and the three peaks are iron, silver and gold. The mountain is believed to be the second home of the divine goddess Vaishno Devi. She was created with the divine power of the mother Goddesses Tridevi to end evil; hence, the mountain is called Trikuta.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
