The annual Amarnath Yatra, a significant pilgrimage in India, has surpassed the 400,000 mark in pilgrim visits to the cave shrine situated at 14,000 feet in the Himalayas. This achievement is remarkable, especially considering the recent terror attack near the traditional route in Pahalgam [3].Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant-Governor Manoj Sinha hailed the turnout as a "miracle" and expressed gratitude to stakeholders, including local Muslim service providers and doctors, for their contributions. The pilgrimage, which started on July 3 and will conclude on August 9, has been described as a "godly expedition" that offers a spiritual experience and an opportunity for devotees to know themselves [1][2][3].
Sinha noted that the high number of pilgrims is a testament to India's unity and its resolve to overcome all challenges. The 38-day pilgrimage is scheduled to conclude on August 9, coinciding with the Raksha Bandhan festival [1][2].
The Amarnath Yatra is a spiritual journey that attracts devotees from across the country and the globe. The cave shrine houses an ice stalagmite structure that wanes and waxes with the phases of the moon, symbolizing the mythical powers of Lord Shiva. This year's Yatra has witnessed a large rush of devotees, demonstrating the victory of faith over terror [3].
