Amarnath Temple
Amarnath cave ((ヒンディー語:अमरनाथ गुफा)) is a Hindu shrine located in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is dedicated to Shiva. The cave is situated at an altitude of ,〔 about from Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir and reached through Pahalgam town. The shrine forms an important part of Hinduism, and is considered to be one of the holiest shrines in Hinduism. The cave is surrounded by snowy mountains. The cave itself is covered with snow most of the year except for a short period of time in summer when it is open for pilgrims. Thousands of Hindu devotees make an annual pilgrimage to the Amarnath cave on challenging mountainous terrain to see an ice stalagmite formed inside the cave.
==The Linga==
Inside the high Amarnath cave, the stalagmite is formed due to freezing of water drops that fall from the roof of the cave on to the floor and grows up vertically from the cave floor. It is considered to be a Shiva Linga by Hindus. The Cave waxes during May to August, as snow melts in the Himalayas above the cave and the resultant water seeps into the rocks that form the cave and gradually wanes thereafter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Amarnathji Yatra - a journey into faith )〕 As per the religious beliefs, it has been claimed that the lingam grows and shrinks with the phases of the moon reaching its height during the summer festival, although there is no scientific evidence for this belief.〔Ortner, Jon. (On the road again ). ''PDN Gallery''.〕
According to a Hindu legend, this is the cave where Shiva explained the secret of life and eternity to his divine consort, Parvati.〔Page 84, The Holy Himalayas By Shantha N. Nair〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Bhole Bhandari Charitable Trust )〕 Two other ice formations represent Parvati and Shiva's son, Ganesha.
The main purpose of the annual pilgrimage to the cave is worship of the ice stalagmite Lingam.
