Known as one of the holiest shrines in Hinduism, the Amarnath cave is located at an altitude of around 12,756 feet in the Lidder Valley of Jammu and Kashmir. The annual pilgrimage holds immense spiritual significance and symbolizes devotion, perseverance, and the eternal presence of Lord Shiva. The centerpiece of this pilgrimage is the ice stalagmite formation, revered as Baba Barfani or Amarnath Shivling, which waxes and wanes with the lunar cycle.
The Amarnath Yatra 2025 began on 29th June and will continue till 19th August, coinciding with the holy month of Shravan.
