Amarnath Yatra
The Amarnath Yatra is a significant pilgrimage in India, dedicated to the Hindu deity Shiva. It takes place annually in the summer months, typically from June to August, attracting thousands of devotees. The journey leads to the Amarnath Cave, located in the Jammu and Kashmir region, where a naturally occurring ice Shiva Lingam is formed.
Pilgrims often trek challenging routes, with two main paths: the traditional route from Pahalgam and the shorter route from Baltal. The yatra is not only a spiritual journey but also a cultural event, showcasing the devotion and faith of participants from various backgrounds.
