The Amarnath Holy Cave is a holy shrine located in the the Pahalgam tehsil of Anantnag district in the Himalayan sub-valley of Jammu and Kashmir, India. This holy cave is home to the Shiva Lingam, revered by Hindus as the physical manifestation of Lord Shiva. At an altitude of 3,888 meters, the cave is covered in snow most of the year. In summer, the cave is open to pilgrims.

The annual pilgrimage, Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra, occurs from July to August, during which pilgrims visit the Amarnath Holy Cave to pay reverence to Lord Shiva in the form of an iced stalagmite Shiva Lingam.

Throughout the month of Sawan, one can see large numbers of the pilgrims walking along roads leading to the sacred rivers, such as the Ganges. Many make the journey with bare feet and balance on their shoulders a colorfully decorated pole, called a kanwar, which has containers suspended on either side. The pilgrims fill the containers with water from the sacred rivers, then carry it back to their native places, where they make a devotional offering of it in their local temples of Lord Shiva on Sawan Shivratri, the day devoted to Lord Shiva.

This annual pilgrimage, known as Kanwar Yatra, occurs during the monsoon season, so these pilgrims walk long distances in heavy rains, extreme humidity, and heat. The pilgrims wear saffron-colored clothes, and many wear malas (beads used for prayer and meditation) made from sacred rudraksha beads. Ancient Indian scriptures tell how Lord Shiva once came out of a deep meditation, and his tears fell to earth and turned into seeds that grew into rudraksha trees. Beads made from rudraksha tree seeds are known as “Lord Rudra’s teardrops.” The word rudraksha is a combination of two Sanskrit words—Rudra, the name of one of the forms of Lord Shiva, and aksha, teardrops. Especially during the month of Sawan, but also throughout the year, devotees wear sacred rudraksha malas in honor of Lord Shiva.

Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra serves these pilgrims with camps that offer medical care, free food, and resting places.

The Kumbh Mela (the festival of the sacred pitcher) is the largest religious gathering in the world, attended by millions of devotees from all over the world. According to beliefs, a Kumbh (a celestial pitcher) emerged during the divine event of Sagar Manthan (the churning of the cosmic ocean). This Kumbh contained amrita—the divine nectar of immortality. To possess this amrita, a celestial battle broke out between Gods and demons. This battle spanned twelve divine days, equivalent to twelve human years.

During the battle, a few drops of the amrita fell at four sacred locations in India, each situated along the banks of holy rivers: Haridwar, Ujjain, Nashik, and Prayagraj. These four locations mark the sites where the Kumbh Mela is celebrated four times over the course of twelve years, rotating between each location. The holy rivers corresponding to four locations are believed to turn into amrita, during the Kumbh Mela, offering devotees the opportunity to take a holy dip.

The celebration of Kumbh Mela at each site is based on a distinct set of astrological positions of the Sun, the Moon, and Jupiter. The Kumbh Mela, which occurs during a rare alignment of these planets is known as Maha Kumbh Mela (Maha meaning Great). This auspicious alignment occurs after 12 cycles of the 12-year Kumbh Mela, held every 144 years. In 2025, the Maha Kumbh Mela was celebrated at Prayagraj.

In 2025, Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra (VMRK) inspired by Sant Baljit Singh Ji, provided free food, medical, and ambulance services to the devotees during Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 at Prayagraj.

Covering these long distances, while singing holy songs, reading sacred texts, and dancing in devotion, they arrive on or a few days before Ashadhi Ekadashi to seek darshan of Lord Vitthal.
