LEGEND
OF AMARNATH CAVE: Lord Shiva takes his
Samadhi on the Deer Skin and concentrate . To
ensure that no living being is able to hear the
Immortal Tale , He created Rudra named Kalagni
and ordered him to spread fire to eliminate every
living thing in and around the Holy Cave . After
this He started narrating the secret of immortality
to Maa Parvati . But as a matter of chance one
egg which was lying beneath the Deer skin remained
protected . It is believed to be non living and
more over it was protected by Shiva -Parvati Asan
(Bed) . The pair of pigeons which were born out
of this egg became immortal having listened the
secret of immortality (Amar Katha). Many pilgrims
report seeing the pair of pigeons when they trek
the arduous route to pay their obeisance before
the Ice-Lingam (the phallic symbol of Shiva
The
Amarnath Yatra is organised every year by the
