Description
Thousands of Hindu pilgrims from across India reach the mountainous Pahalgam region of Indian-administered Kashmir as the annual Amarnath Yatra kicks off amid heightened security arrangements by the authorities. More than 350,000 pilgrims are expected to undertake the arduous trek to the ecologically fragile Himalayan mountain cave shrine and pay obeisance to the naturally forming ice stalagmite, which Hindus believe is a symbol of Lord Shiva, during the 52-day long pilgrimage that concludes on August 19.
