Description : Indian Hindu devotees leave Chandanwari, 115 km southeast of Srinagar, during the annual Hindu pilgrimage towards the holy cave shrine of Amarnath. Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims trek through treacherous mountains in revolt-torn Kashmir to reach the Amarnath cave, where a Shiva Lingam, an ice stalagmite shaped as a fallus and symbolising the Hindu God Shiva, stands for worship.
