About Amarnath Yatra

Amarnath Yatra is conducted in the Kashmir valley. The Amarnath cave is at an altitude of 12,800 feet. This yatra opens for a short period. Generally, Amarnath darshan starts in the month of June and July. And the closing of the yatra is in the month of August.

Amarnath yatra is yatra to Amarnath cave for darshan of Self-made ice shiv linga. Amarnath yatra happens by two routes. Generally, these two routes are the Pahalgam route and Baltal Route. However, most pilgrims prefer trekking to Amarnath Cave. But Helicopter service is also available from Baltal and Pahalgam. Also, it carries a special place in Hindu mythology. It is the journey to the heavenly abode of Lord Shiva. The pilgrimage to Amarnath Yatra is an arduous trek that lets you follow narrow and steep mountain paths. There are many hurdles along the way, to reach the place where the sacred ice Linga of Lord Shiva is located.

Importance of Amarnath Yatra:

It is believed that there are 12 Jyotirlingas around the country with special significance as explained in Hindu mythology. Though every Jyotirlinga had its special importance of origin and the great Lord Shiva resides in only some of them. Amarnath is the place that carries a distinctive and above-the-role position among all the Jyotirlingas. This place is famous for the story narration made by Lord Shiva to Parvati. This story is regarding the concept of creation. Also, The Amar Katha and immortality secrets.

Amarnath Cave History:

Amarnath cave is the place wherein Lord Shiva had dictated the story of creation and immortality secrets to Maa Parvati. The story goes with the question raised by Mata Parvati to Lord Shiva as to why he wears the beads of heads (Mund Mala). Lord replied whenever you are born then I add on one more head in my beads. Then Mata Parvati insisted on telling the secret of the immortal state enjoyed by the Lord. The lord replies that all this happens with the reason of Amar Katha.

To Sum Up, God chooses Amarnath Cave to tell the secrets of immortality to Mata Parvati. On the execution of reaching the place, he left out all his personal belongings. such as he left his Bull Nandi at Pahalgam, his moon at Chandanwari snakes at the banks of Sheshnag, and his son Ganesha at the core of Mahagunas mountain. He has also discarded the five elements i.e. Earth, Sky, Fire, Water, and Air behind. People believe that as a symbol of sacrifice. Also, both Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati had Tandav Dance. Lord Shiva entered the holy cave with Mata Parvati and takes on his Samadhi on the deerskin and concentrated. He just wants to ensure that no other living creature can hear the immortal story. The creation of Rudra named Kalagni is done. And he also orders him to extend fire all around the cave for security reasons. By chance, an egg was left out in the cave from which a pair of pigeons had also heard the story of immortality. And they also become immortal.
