The excitement for the 2025 Amarnath Yatra has already begun to soar, as India TV offers an exclusive first look at the Amarnath Shivling—an iconic ice formation that is a central part of this revered pilgrimage. The visuals, shared two months ahead of the official start of the Yatra, have excited devotees across the country. Although the official pilgrimage is set to commence on July 3, some early pilgrims from Punjab have already made their way to the Amarnath cave to witness the Shivling and share photographs, contributing to the anticipation surrounding the Yatra.
As the official Yatra approaches, preparations are well underway. The Jammu and Kashmir administration is working tirelessly to ensure the safety and accessibility of the routes for pilgrims. Baltal and Chandanwari, two of the main routes to the Amarnath cave, are undergoing heavy snow clearance operations. The snowfall this year has been unusually heavy, with snow accumulation reaching 10 to 20 feet in some areas, significantly hindering the progress of these operations. Despite the challenges, authorities are determined to clear the paths well in advance, ensuring that the routes are safe for the millions of pilgrims who are expected to make the sacred journey.
In a visit to Pantha Chowk, the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, took stock of the Yatra preparations, ensuring that everything is on track. Security measures are also a major focus, especially in light of the recent Pahalgam attack. However, the spirit of the devotees remains unshaken, with over 360,000 pilgrims already registered, and this number is expected to rise significantly as the date draws closer.
The Amarnath Yatra, which runs from July 3 to August 19, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan, is one of the most significant spiritual events in India, attracting devotees from across the nation. The trek to the Amarnath cave, located in the Himalayas, is considered a sacred pilgrimage, where pilgrims seek blessings from Lord Shiva and witness the ice Shivling that forms naturally every year.
As the Yatra draws near, the growing challenges related to the heavy snowfall, along with increased registration numbers, signal a busy and demanding season for both authorities and pilgrims. Stay tuned to India TV for live coverage and the latest updates on the preparations for the 2025 Amarnath Yatra, including exclusive insights into the Amarnath Shivling and other developments surrounding this sacred pilgrimage.
