Overview
Amarnath cave is known for a famous Hindu temple located in Jammu and Kashmir. Among many historical monuments in India, this is considered as the holiest among Hindus, and the cave is bounded by snowy mountains. It is covered with the snow all the days of the year and only for a little period in summer is open for pilgrims. Inside these caves, there is a spike formed due to icy water that drops from the roof of the cave and people believe that it is the idol of Lord Shiva which is in the form of Linga and worships it. The discovery of Amarnath cave is also interesting. It was a shepherd who discovered the cave in the 15 th century when almost everyone forgot about it in middle age. Reaching the cave is a challenging task as the route is fully occupied with mountains and stones. Throughout the way, some non-profit organizations supply food and accommodate pilgrims in tents for free of cost. Pilgrims are not allowed to begin their yatra until they register online in Amarnath online registration. They are also advised to go through a medical check-up before they start their yatra. Devotees who travel to get blessings of Lord Shiva, return with a spiritual impact on their minds.
