Ice lingam at Amarnath to reduce its size by one-tenth


Due to rapid melt-down and if the mercury continues to raise then the size of Ice-Lingam (Lord Shiva) size will keep on decreasing. Weather will affects the shape and size of the ice lingam. Due to rising temperature around the cave shrine the size and height of the lingam has reduced considerably.

Four lakh devotees are on their way to visit the lingam not withstanding the weather vagaries.

The temperature in Srinagar has shown an upward trend in the past week and today's maximum temperature shot up to 32.5 degree celsius making it the hottest day of the season so far.

The minimum temperature rose to 20.1 degrees which is four degrees above normal.
