Amarnath Yatra 2022: The temple of Baba Buddha Amarnath dedicated to Lord Shiva is also known as “Chattani Baba Amarnath temple” and is located 290 km northwest of Jammu. Standing 4,600 feet above sea level, the shrine is located in a picturesque setting.
Amarnath Yatra was suspended on Thursday due to bad weather as rains lashed the Kashmir Valley, officials said. The annual pilgrimage had commenced on Monday following the cloudburst that occurred on July 8.
The IMD has an automatic weather station near the Amarnath cave shrine which provides weather forecasts during the pilgrimage. However, the surrounding mountains do not have any weather monitoring stations due to their inaccessibility.
