The holy shrine of Amarnath Ji, or
Amarnath Mandir, is located at
an elevation of 3,888 meters approx, about 29 kilometers from Pahalgam. Inside
the cave is a Shiva Lingam (a phallus shaped formation made of ice), considered
to be the most holy symbol by Hindus all across the globe. Devotees visit it in
large numbers from June to August, with the pilgrimage tour famously known as Amarnath
Yatra, which begins from Chandanwari. It is
considered to be one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas, or the holiest shrines in
Hinduism. Besides seeking blessings at the Amarnath Temple, the views
surrounding it are extraordinary.
