JAMMU: A museum of the goddesses comprising replicas and representations of major ‘devi’ pilgrimage sites from across India will come up at Katra, the base camp of Mata Vaishno Devi in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district.

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said it is the first-of-its-kind museum dedicated exclusively to goddesses and experts have been assigned to the project. “I hope that work (on it) will begin soon.”

“The first ever International Museum of Goddess in the country is set to come up in Katra. I believe Katra, and indeed the entire nation, will take pride in this museum,” Sinha said.
