হালনাগাদ 
দ্রুত উত্তরকাশ্মীর হিমালয়ের উচ্চে, প্রকৃতিতে গড়ে ওঠা একটি বরফের স্তম্ভ প্রতি গ্রীষ্মে কয়েক লক্ষ তীর্থযাত্রীকে আকৃষ্ট করে এমন এক গুহার দিকে টানে যা বছরের মাত্র কয়েক সপ্তাহ মন্দির হয়ে ওঠে।
গুহার পেছনের কাহিনী কী বলে এবং এই সময়সীমা কেন পরিবর্তন করা যায় না।

The secret told in a cave
Tradition holds that the Amarnath cave is the place where Shiva chose to reveal Amar Katha, the secret of immortality, to Parvati — a story old enough that the shrine is described as having been rediscovered rather than founded. A parallel strand of the same tradition credits the sage Bhrigu with finding the cave and its ice formation after an earlier legendary draining of the Kashmir valley by the sage Kashyapa. Both versions agree on the essential shape of the story: this is a place that had to be found, not built, and its sanctity predates any structure at all — there is no temple building here, only the cave itself.
Ice that waxes and wanes like the moon
The object of pilgrimage is a naturally occurring ice stalagmite inside the cave, formed by water seeping through the rock and freezing in the cold air at an altitude of roughly 13,000 feet. Pilgrims and popular accounts of the shrine describe the ice lingam as waxing and waning with the lunar cycle, said to reach its fullest size around the full moon of the pilgrimage season. Because it depends entirely on temperature and moisture, the lingam's size and shape are never identical two years running — an unusual quality among Hindu pilgrimage sites, where nature rather than craftsmanship provides the murti, re-forming itself every year rather than being renewed by hand.
