"Over the course of a month, more than 100,000 Hindu pilgrims will hike at least 19 miles, sleep in freezing temperatures above 10,000 feet and brave attacks from Muslim militants. Their trek is all for a hurried glimpse of an ice stalagmite that forms each year on the wall of a remote cave." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article describes the annual Hindu pilgrimage, known as the Amarnath Yatra, to a symbol of Lord Shiva, one of Hinduism's three most revered gods.
