| About Amarnath Tourism |
|
Amarnath is one of the most acclaimed of Hindu temples, dedicated to Lord Shiva, about 140 km from Srinagar in J&K. Estimated to be around 5000 years old, the Amarnath temple is visited by close to 400,000 Hindu devotees every year. Legend
has it that Goddess Parvati asked her husband Shiv the reason behind
his immortality. Thus God Shiv told her about the immortal secret of life and eternity or the Amar Katha at Amarnath.
However, a solitary egg of a pigeon was hidden under his deerskin mat
during this narration and the pair of pigeons born out of that egg
became immortal having listened to the secret of immortality. To this
day, many pilgrims report seeing the pair of pigeons when they trek the
arduous route to the holy spot. A natural ice stalagmite in the form of a Shiv Linga is found inside the Amarnath Cave,
