Amarnath Cave situated in Jammu and Kashmir and it is the largest cave of India. The width of the cave is around 40 yard, its height is about 75 feet; and the cave slopes 80 feet deep down inside the mountain. Amarnath Cave is named coming after Mount Amarnath, where it is located almost 4000m high and is 45 km from Pahalgam. It was discovered by Bregish Reshi. Amarnath cave is one of the best pilgrimage of Hindus shrine. This cave totally famous for the lord Shiva Lingam that is formed naturally of an ice-stalagmite. The 45-km distance is covered in four days, with night halts at Chandanwari, Sheshnag and Panchtarni. The phallic symbol of Lord Shiva. Two smaller ice stalagmites represent Parvati, his wife, and Ganesha, his son.
A legend tells, that Shiva explained the secret of creation to Parvati in the cave. Another legend tells that Kashyap Reshi drained a big lake, which became then the Kashmir valley of today. In every year in the time of July and August when there is little accessible then thousand of Hindus people a are going for see this temple. The pilgrimage ends with the arrival of Lord Shiva's mace, known as Charri Mubarak. Traditionally puja are doing inside the cave of Amarnath. The big height and the low temperature, combined with the under-nourished state of many people, are responsible for dozens of dead pilgrims every year. Sometimes, like in 1996, bad weather increases the number of fatalities dramatically.
