He left his bull Nandi at Pahalgam which is the starting point of the Yatra. He then released the Moon from his hair at Chandanwari and threw away his snakes at Sheshnag. He left his son Lord Ganesha at Mahagunas Parvat and his five elements at Panchtarni before entering the cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cave was hidden until it was rediscovered in the 19th century by a Muslim shepherd, Buta Malik. Since then, the management has been shared between the Hindu priests and the descendants of the shepherd. The natural ice Lingam that forms inside the cave every year is believed to be Lord Shiva himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_and_Closing_Dates_of_Amarnath_Yatra_2025\"><\/span>Opening and Closing Dates of Amarnath Yatra 2025<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delhitempotravellers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kashmir-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Delhi to Amarnath Yatra \" class=\"wp-image-698\" title=\"Delhi to Amarnath Yatra\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.delhitempotravellers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kashmir-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.delhitempotravellers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kashmir-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.delhitempotravellers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kashmir-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.delhitempotravellers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kashmir-3-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.delhitempotravellers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kashmir-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official Amarnath Yatra 2025 schedule has been released by the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board.
