Summary
[edit]
| Description |
The Amarnath caves are one of the most famous shrines in Hinduism, dedicated to the god Shiva (Amarnath: “the Eternal Lord”), located 141 km from Srinagar. The shrine is claimed to be over 5,000 years old. Inside the main Amarnath cave lies an ice stalagmite resembling the Shiva Linga, which waxes during May to August and gradually wanes thereafter. This lingam is said to grow and shrink with the phases of the moon, reaching its height on Guru Purnima day, the full moon day of the Hindu month of Shravan. According to Hindu mythology, this is the cave where Shiva explained the secret of life and eternity to his divine consort Parvati.
