Amarnath Temple, situated in the picturesque region of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, India, is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites for Hindus. This ancient shrine is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is renowned for its naturally occurring ice lingam, which is believed to wax and wane with the phases of the moon. The temple is located in a cave at an altitude of approximately 3,888 meters (12,756 feet), and the annual Amarnath Yatra attracts thousands of devotees who trek through challenging terrain to seek divine blessings. The pilgrimage typically takes place during the summer months of July and August, coinciding with the Hindu month of Shravan.
