Annual Amarnath Yatra Pilgrimage In Indian Kashmir
Hindu pilgrims make their way on foot, ride horses, and are carried by porters along a mountain path during their pilgrimage to the cave shrine of Amarnath, near Baltal, east of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on July 3, 2025. Amarnath Yatra begins under an unprecedented security blanket after a terror attack in Pahalgam kills 25 tourists and a local pony handler. In response, the government deploys additional troops along the pilgrimage routes and cancels all helicopter services this year. The 45-day Himalayan pilgrimage to the sacred Shiva shrine takes place amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions following 'Operation Sindoor' and cross-border shelling, raising safety concerns for thousands of pilgrims.
