The traditional offerings to Maa Vaishno Devi, permitted inside the Holy Cave include

• Chunri (a red coloured drape)
• Saries
• Cholas
• Silver or Gold ornaments

These traditional offerings are called as Bhaint to Maa Vaishno Devi. A Bhaint comprises Prasad, Fullian (Made of Rice), Makhana, Dry Fruits, Chunni, Mouli, Coconut (With Water Inside), Pooja Samagri including Itra, Bangles and Sindoor (Shingaar).

Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has shops at Bhawan where Prashad and Bhaint offerings are available at a fair price. The pilgrims are not required to take Bhaint offerings from Katra and carry them all the journey to Bhawan. Packed Bhaints in eco-friendly Jute Bags are given in the Bhaint Shop at Bhawan Counters at very reasonable rates.

The Bhaints are available in Rs. 11, Rs. 21 and Rs. 31. Pilgrims can also take a water bottle from the Bhaint shop/counter to fill the Holy water that gushes out of the Holy Cave after having Darshans.

Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has prepared gold and silver coins of guaranteed purity. These coins bear the image of the Holy Pindies on one side and that of Goddess Durga on the other side. These coins are available at the Prashad counter outside the Holy Cave (Pavitra Gufa) and at all the banks at Bhawan.

Sweets, Sweet Dishes, Food Stuffs are strictly not allowed inside the Holy Cave and pilgrims should avoid from taking such offerings. Coconuts are also not  allowed due to security reasons and hence no Coconuts are allowed to be broken anywhere near the Holy Cave.
