| Ice lingam melts completely | | |
Srinagar, July 1: Even as the Amarnath Yatra began today morning after being suspended on Saturday due to heavy rains, there have been reports of complete melting away of the main Shivlingam. The CEO of the Amarnath Shrine Board confirming the report blamed the environment for the same.
Although the melting away of the Shivling is a natural feature which occurs almost every year, it has happened a little earlier this time, said the Board CEO.
The Shivlingam, a natural stalagmite, begins to melt ten days after the start of the yatra, he said, while blaming the environment changes as the main reason behind the early melting of the Shivlingam.
The Board has said that there are reasons to be disappointed for those who are coming just to see the Shivlingam. However, for the firm believers in the yatra, it will not make much difference.
Some good news for those who wish to see ice lingam is that the small lingams representing Parvati and Ganesha on either side of the main lingam have not melted.
