Amarnath Yatra

Amarnath Yatra To spread Peace ! Dedicated to the god Shiva, the shrine is said to be over 5,000 years old.

Located in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir and situated on Mount Amarnath, the Amarnath caves (Hindi: अमरनाथ गुहा, Urdu: امرناتھ گُپھا) are one of the most famous shrines in Hinduism. The shrine forms an important part of Hinduism.[1]

Inside the main Amarnath cave lies an ice stalagmite resembling the Shiva Linga, which waxes during May to August and gradually wanes thereafter.[2] This ling

am is said to grow and shrink with the phases of the moon, reaching its height during the summer festival.[3] According to Hindu mythology, this is the cave where Shiva explained the secret of life and eternity to his divine consort Parvati.[4] Two other ice formations represent Parvati and Shiva's son, Ganesha. The cave is situated at an altitude of 3,888 m (12,756 ft),[2] about 141 km (88 mi) from Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir. The Central Reserve Police Force, Indian Army and Indian Paramilitary Forces maintain a strong presence in the region due to security concerns.[5]
