The annual Amarnath pilgrimage resumed after a six‑day halt caused by adverse weather conditions.
The Amarnath Yatra, a major Hindu pilgrimage to the shrine in the Himalayas, has resumed after a six‑day pause caused by inclement weather.
The halt, which began on a Sunday, was prompted by heavy snowfall and low temperatures that made the trek unsafe for thousands of devotees.
Authorities had closed the route to ensure safety, but after the weather cleared, the pilgrimage was reopened with enhanced security and medical support.
The resumption marks a return to normalcy for the annual event that attracts millions of pilgrims each year.
