Amarnath refers to the sacred Hindu shrine known as the Amarnath Cave, located in the Himalayas of Jammu and Kashmir, India.
Key facts:
It is one of the most important pilgrimage sites dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The cave is situated at an altitude of about 3,888 meters (12,756 feet).
Inside the cave, a naturally formed ice Shivling (ice stalagmite) is worshipped as a manifestation of Lord Shiva.
The annual Amarnath Yatra attracts hundreds of thousands of devotees and is usually held during the summer when the cave becomes accessible.
