About Amarnath Yatra
Amarnath Temple/Cave sits at an altitude of 3,888 m and is approximately 141 km from Srinagar. During June to August, an ice formation, also called Shivalingam or Stalagmite is formed inside the cave that gradually melts with the moon’s cycle. This vertically-shaped Lingam forms when the water drops from the roof freeze inside the cave during a certain period of time. Once gathered on the floor, the ice grows vertically and hence the famous Amarnath ice Lingam is formed.
The height of the ice Lingam is approximately 13 feet which usually varies every year. The cave features two more ice lingams that depict Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesha. Furthermore, SASB (Shri Amarnath Shrine Board) takes care of the yatra and makes several provisions for devotees to make it as smooth as possible.
