What is the true story of Amarnath Ji?

The Amarnath Cave holds a divine significance in Hindu mythology. According to legend, Lord Shiva chose this remote Himalayan cave to reveal the secret of **immortality (Amar Katha) to Mata Parvati. To ensure no living being overheard the secret, Shiva left behind all his companions, including Nandi (his bull), the Moon, the five elements, and even his serpent Vasuki, before entering the cave. As he narrated the story, a pair of dove eggs hidden in the cave hatched, and the doves are believed to have gained immortality by listening to the divine tale. Many devotees claim to still see these immortal doves near the cave. Inside the cave, a naturally formed ice Shivling appears every year, drawing thousands of devotees for Amarnath Yatra, a sacred pilgrimage to seek blessings from Lord Shiva. Experience the divine presence of Lord Shiva at Amarnath Cave and witness the eternal legend of immortality.
