Amarnath Yatra 2024 to start soon; 6 things to know about the pilgrimage

The Amarnath Yatra is a revered annual pilgrimage for Hindus, dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva. Located in the Himalayas at an altitude of about 3,888 metres in Kashmir, the yatra takes you to the sacred Amarnath Cave, where a naturally occurring ice stalagmite, believed to be a manifestation of Lord Shiva, is formed. From Pahalgam, pilgrims trek approximately 46 kilometres to reach the cave. The route passes through scenic locations such as Chandanwari, Sheshnag, and Panchtarni. Amarnath Yatra 2024 is all set to begin on June 29, and will end on August 19.

Here are six things you need to know about this revered annual pilgrimage.

Amarnath Yatra 2024 to start soon; 6 things to know about the pilgrimage

Sacred cave shrine
The Amarnath Cave is situated at an altitude of about 3,888 metres in the Himalayas. Inside the cave, the Shiva Lingam, a naturally formed ice stalagmite, stands as a revered symbol of Lord Shiva. The formation occurs due to the freezing of water droplets that trickle down from the roof of the cave. The size of the lingam varies with the lunar cycle, waxing during the summer months when the yatra takes place. This phenomenon draws millions of devotees who believe that the lingam embodies Lord Shiva’s presence. The cave also houses two smaller ice formations believed to represent Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesha, further adding to its sanctity.

Historical and mythological significance

The Amarnath Cave is steeped in Hindu mythology. Legend has it that Lord Shiva chose this remote cave to disclose the secret of immortality and creation to his divine consort, Parvati, away from any eavesdroppers. To ensure complete secrecy, Shiva left his Nandi (bull) at Pahalgam, released the moon from his hair at Chandanwari, left his snakes at Sheshnag, and released the five elements at Panchtarni. It is said that Lord Shiva even left behind his son, Ganesha, at Mahagunas Parvat (Mahaganesh Mountain) before entering the cave.

Limited accessibility
The Amarnath Cave is accessible only for a brief period during the summer months, typically from late June to early August. This is when the weather conditions are relatively stable, and the ice lingam is fully formed. The limited window of accessibility adds to the yatra’s allure, as devotees eagerly await the annual opening of the cave. The pilgrimage period coincides with the holy Hindu month of Shravan, considered auspicious for worshipping Lord Shiva.

Challenging trek
The trek to the Amarnath Cave is considered one of the most challenging pilgrimages due to its rigorous and demanding nature. Pilgrims typically choose between two routes: the traditional Pahalgam route (about 46 kilometres) and the shorter but steeper Baltal route (about 14 kilometres). The journey involves traversing rugged terrain, steep inclines, and high-altitude passes. Trekkers face unpredictable weather, including snow, rain, and extreme cold. Despite the challenges, the breathtaking natural beauty of the landscape, including majestic mountains, lush valleys, and serene rivers, provides a spiritual and scenic reward.

Security and logistics
Given the challenging terrain and the large number of participants, the Amarnath Yatra requires extensive security and logistical arrangements. The Indian government and local authorities collaborate to ensure the safety and well-being of pilgrims. This includes deploying security forces to protect against potential threats, providing medical facilities and emergency services along the route, and setting up temporary camps with food and shelter. Helicopter services are available for those unable to undertake the trek on foot.

Environmental concerns
The influx of thousands of pilgrims to the remote and ecologically sensitive region of Amarnath raises significant environmental concerns. The area’s fragile ecosystem is vulnerable to damage from human activity, including waste generation, deforestation, and pollution. To mitigate these impacts, various measures are implemented, such as promoting eco-friendly practices, providing bio-degradable waste disposal systems, and encouraging pilgrims to minimise their environmental footprint.
