Amarnath Yatra 2023: Overview
Devotion, religious tolerance, and brotherhood are signs of the Jammu and Kashmir Hindu pilgrimage to the Amarnath Gupha. An older "Linga" of Lord Shiva can be found inside the Amarnath Gupha. Darshan is offered here to pilgrims who travel from all over India. Hindus accept that this was the home of Lord Shiva, found 168 km from the district headquarters in the Anantnag area.
Gupha is in the Ladar Valley, which is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and glaciers for the majority of the year and is 141 kilometres at an altitude of 12,756 feet above sea level from Srinagar, the capital.
A 43-km hill trek begins from Chandiwadi and Noonan base camps in Pahalgam. To complete the trek, some choose to travel in palanquins or on horses. The shortest route, 16 kilometres from Bal Tal, is more difficult. Preceding 1990, the journey was extremely restrictive and accessible to just sadhus and holy people to visit. The pilgrimage was held for 20 days in 1995. Its duration was extended to two months from 2004 to 2009. Between July and August, the pilgrimage now lasts between 40 and 45 days.

LG Sinha stated, "All the stakeholder departments are working together to ensure facilities for lodging, power, water, security, and other arrangements for the smooth operation of the Yatra."
The Lt Governor also guided the officials to guarantee elevated degrees of tidiness and to take fundamental interventions for sanitation and waste management. SASB will also empower live telecasts of the morning and evening Aarti (Prayers) for devotees across the globe. Shri Amarnathji Yatra's Application has been made accessible on the Google Play store to get continuous information about the Yatra, and climate and for profiting from several services online," the government said in a statement.
The members and officials of the SASB reviewed a variety of aspects of the Shri Amarnathji Yatra-2023 during the 44th meeting, which was presided over by the Lt Governor. These aspects included registration, the provision of helicopter services, service providers, camps, langars, and insurance coverage for Yatris. According to the Jammu and Kashmir Police, drones and mine-resistant vehicles will be used to provide complete security for the Amarnath yatra.
"Like last year, the Amarnath yatra will be protected to the last detail. Both mine-resistant vehicles and drones will be used. I am certain that the number of terrorists in this area will decrease before Yatra. The number of local terrorists has decreased to 28 at this time. "It will further reduce this," stated Vijay Kumar, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) for the Kashmir Zone.
