Deeply respected by the Hindus, Amarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is said to be 5000 years old. This beautiful temple is located in the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir and is situated at the height of 14000 fts above sea level. In fact, the temple is inside a cave and here lies an Ice Lingam or Shiv Linga. The Linga waxes during May to August and gradually wanes thereafter. Devotees from different parts of not only world but from several parts of India come for the Amarnath Yatra for the Darshan of Lingam also offer prayer to two other ice formations representing Shri Ganesh and Mata Parvati. According to Hindu mythology, the Lord Shiva disclosed the truth of immortality to his wife Parvati and hence, the cave is the sacred place of Hindus. Ava
