J&K: Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra crosses 4 lakh pilgrim mark, 4.14 lakh devotees receive darshan

The annual Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra has crossed the significant milestone of four lakh pilgrims, with more than 4.14 lakh devotees having paid obeisance at the holy cave shrine so far.

 

 

 

The pilgrimage, which began on 3 July, is scheduled to conclude on 28 August, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan. The Yatra remained suspended from 19 July to 24 July due to inclement weather and heavy rainfall. It resumed thereafter, but movement of pilgrims is currently being allowed only through the Baltal route, as repair and restoration work is still underway on the Pahalgam track following rain related damage.

 

“By Lord Shiva’s divine grace, the holy Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra has crossed a remarkable milestone and more than 4 Lakh pilgrims have already completed the sacred journey. Till now, 4.14 Lakh devotees have received darshan. I bow with reverence to Baba Amarnath for this blessing and extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make this journey a truly divine experience for all,” Jammu Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha tweeted.
