About Amarnath Yatra
An annual Hindu pilgrimage, Amarnath Yatra is considered very sacred. Every year millions of pilgrims undertake this pilgrimage to achieve salvation. The holy cave of Amarnath Cave is located at an altitude of 3,888 meters in Kashmir.
It is 141 kilometers from Srinagar. There are two routes to do this pilgrimage. One is from Baltal, the shortest, and the other is from Pahalgam, the longer but traditional one.
Legend and Significance of Amarnath Yatra
It is believed that the Amarnath Cave is 5000 years old and is said to be found by a shepherd Buta Malik. As per the story, Buta met a saint here who gave him a bag of coal. When Buta returned home and opened the bag, he found it full of gold. So when Buta Malik returned to find the saint, he found the Amarnath cave there.
The manifestation of Shiva Lingam at Amarnath Cave is also called Baba Barfani. As per the legends, when Maa Parvati insisted on Lord Shiva telling her his secret of immortality. So, to reveal his secret, Lord Shiva proceeded toward the cave so that no one else could hear the secret behind his immortality.
While going to the cave, Lord Shiva left his vahana (vehicle) Nandi in Pahalgam. That’s how the place got its name as the lord proceeded on foot from here. Next, he left the moon at Chanderbadi, 16 kilometers away from Pahalgam.
At Sheshnag, the lord dropped the snake from his neck, and at Mahagunas Mountain, Lord Shiva left his son Ganesha. At Panchtarni, he left the five elements. Once he reached the cave, Lord Shiva called upon fire to kill all things nearby, but two pigeon eggs beneath his seat were saved. In the process of recounting the story, the eggs hatched.
While Lord Shiva recounted the secret of creation and his immortality to Maa Parvati, the pair of pigeons overheard and thus attained immortality. Therefore, devotees flock to the cage yearly in their quest for moksha.
