Amarnath Yatra enters Day 3, over 11K complete darshan
7/3/2019 12:48:25 PM


Jammu, July 3 : Over 4,600 pilgrims left Jammu on Wednesday for the Amarnath cave shrine, after as many as 11,456 pilgrims completed 'darshan' on Tuesday.

"Another batch of 4,694 yatris left the Bhagwati Nagar Yatri Niwas today morning in two escorted convoys for the Kashmir Valley. Of these, 2,052 are headed for the Baltal base camp and 2,642 to Pahalgam," police said.

The first convoy left Jammu at 3.30 a.m. while the second at 4.05 a.m.

The MET predicted a spell of light rain/shower in Baltal-Holy Cave, Pahalgam-Holy Cave axis towards the evening although chances are less. Current temperature at Holy Cave was 8.6 degrees Celsius.

This year's Amarnath Yatra started on July 1 and will end after 45 days on August 15 coinciding with Shravan Purnima.

The cave shrine situated at 3,888 metres above the sea-level in Kashmir Himalayas houses an ice stalagmite structure that symbolises mythical powers of Lord Shiva, according to the devotees.



Symbolically, the story was proven right because the shepherd family shared a portion of the offerings at the Cave shrine for more than 150 years.
