Amarnath Yatra

The Yatra trek through the mountains of south Kashmir Himalayas to the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji is made available only in the months of summer to pay obeisance. In the month of Shravan (July - August) the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji has the devout flock, where the image of Lord Shiva, in the form of a Lingam, is formed naturally of ice - stalagmite, and which waxes and wanes with the moon.

Situated at a height of 3,888m in Jammu and Kashmir; around 14km from Baltal and 46km from Pahalgam, the Amarnath Cave sits gracefully in a picturesque gorge in the Lidder Valley. According to the Hindu Puranas, the existence of the cave is related to pre-historic times and was rediscovered quite a few times. Two of the most popular and widely believed tales depict that once a local shepherd named Buta Malik received a bag full of coal from a saint. On returning home, he opened the bag and to his surprise, he found gold coins inside the bag! To express his gratitude, when he went to the spot where he met the saint, he couldn’t trace the holy person, but discovered this sacred cave. Since then, the Amarnath Cave has been worshipped by the devotees.

Another story says, once the entire Kashmir Valley got submerged during an epic flood. A pious saint called Kashyapa Rishi drained out the water with the help of a series of rivers and streams. After the valley reappeared, Bhrigu Muni visited the Amarnath Cave and had a ‘darshan’ of the “Lingam’. Since then, the cave has become a major pilgrimage for the Hindu devotees.
