Amarnath Yatra Pilgrims | Amarnath Yatra 2026: Shivling Melted, But Devotees' Faith Remains Unshaken
The naturally formed ice Shivling at the Amarnath Cave Shrine melted within days of the start of the 2026 Amarnath Yatra, leaving many devotees heartbroken. Yet, for thousands of pilgrims who waited an entire year and travelled hundreds of kilometres for a glimpse of Baba Barfani, faith remains unwavering. Many devotees say, "Kankar Kankar Mein Shankar Hai" and "Hum Baba ko nahin dekh paayenge, lekin Baba humein dekh rahe hain." Their belief is that Lord Shiva's presence transcends the physical form of the ice Shivling.
