The cave is situated at an altitude of 3,888 m (12,756 ft), about 141 km (88 mi) from Srinagar.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. Hundreds of thousands of Hindu devotees make an annual pilgrimage to the Amarnath cave across challenging mountainous terrain.
Story of Immortality - Amar KathaOnce Goddess Parvati question Lord Shiva for the reason why he wear Mund Mala (Necklace of skulls) around his neck. As answer, Lord said that he adds on a new skull to the necklace when the Goddess died and revived. The reply made the Goddess curious to know the reason for Lord’s immortality. Also, she wanted to scroll the reason why she had to face the life cycle. To satiate the query of the Goddess, Lord Shiva asked her to listen to Amar Katha. The Katha is said to behold the story of immortality. To begin the secret, Lord wanted to find an isolated place free from the mark of a human being or living element. During his search, he discovered Amarnath Cave. On the way to cave, he discarded his belongings such as his bull, son Ganesha, Moon, Snake and five elements. He wanted that none of the living thing should hear this secret. After leaving all the living elements, Lord Shiva entered the cave with Goddess Parvati. He then sat down on the deer skin. To make sure that no living thing is available around the cave, he created Kalagni-a Rudra. He ordered the Rudra to eliminate the unwanted elements from around the cave. Lord Shiva starts narrating the tale. Despite of every possible effort taken by him, a pigeon egg left hidden beneath the bedding of the Lord. During the story, the egg hatched and a pair of pigeons appeared. After listening to the story, both the pigeons become immortal. After so many years, several pilgrims have reported that a pair of pigeons can still be seen around the cave.
