Amarnathji is considered to be one of the major Hindu Dhams. The holy cave is the abode of Lord Shiva. The guardian of the absolute, Lord Shiva, the destroyer, is enshrined in the form of an ice-lingam in this cave. This lingam is formed naturally. This lingam is said to grow and shrink with the phases of the moon, reaching its height during the summer festival. According to Hindu mythology, this is the cave where Shiva explained the secret of life and eternity to Parvati. 2 other ice formations represent Parvati and Shiva's son, Ganesha.

As Amarnath Yatra takes place for just a few days in a year, you need to do the necessary preparations in advance which includes the prior registration.
