Amarnath Yatra Sees Surge in Pilgrims: Over 100,000 Journey to Holy Cave

The Amarnath Yatra, a revered pilgrimage to the holy cave shrine nestled high in the Himalayas, is witnessing a remarkable surge in devotees. After a slower initial start, the number of pilgrims has dramatically increased, exceeding 100,000 in just seven days.

Pilgrims Embark on Spiritual Journey

Thousands of devoted pilgrims are undertaking the arduous trek through the majestic Himalayan mountains to pay their respects at the sacred Amarnath cave. This spiritual journey is of immense significance for Hindus, who believe the cave to be the abode of Lord Shiva.

Security Concerns Raised as Pilgrims Venture Beyond Protected Zones

While the yatra is under tight security, a notable number of pilgrims are choosing to travel outside the designated security perimeter, raising concerns among authorities. These individuals are opting for alternative routes and undertaking the pilgrimage independently, potentially exposing themselves to increased risks.
