Initially, only a few thousand pilgrims visited the site, but following the establishment of the Shiv Khori Shrine Board in December 2003, the number of devotees has increased dramatically.

The shrine hosts an annual three-day Maha Shivratri mela, attracting thousands of pilgrims from various regions to seek blessings from Lord Shiva.

In response to the growing influx of pilgrims, the Shiv Khori Shrine Board has implemented several development initiatives to enhance facilities for devotees.

Other improvements include modern electrification of the cave, provision of oxygen and electric generators, exhaust fans, shelter sheds with toilet facilities, and the installation of railings from the base camp to the shrine.

The Shiv Khori Shrine Board is also working on additional facilities such as a 15,000-liter water reservoir, proper sanitation, a 25 kV electric transformer, cloak rooms, and permanent bus services from Katra, Udhampur, and Jammu.

To accommodate the increasing number of pilgrims, an exit tunnel was constructed by the Board in February of an unspecified year to facilitate smooth darshan of Lord Shiva.
