Sadhus Unite: Ram Mandir Hosts Devotees for Amarnath Yatra

Sadhus from across India gather at Ram Mandir in Jammu to join the annual Amarnath Yatra. The pilgrimage, beginning June 29, will traverse the Nunwan-Pahalgam and Baltal routes. The temple, with support from government departments, ensures necessary accommodations for Sadhus, including a community kitchen and medical facilities.

Sadhus from across India are converging at the Ram Mandir in Jammu in preparation for the annual Amarnath Yatra. This 52-day pilgrimage, set to start on June 29, will follow the traditional Nunwan-Pahalgam route and the steeper Baltal route.

The Ram Mandir, in the heart of Jammu's Purani Mandi area, opens its sprawling complex to host the visiting Sadhus. According to the temple head Mahant Rameshwar Dass, all necessary arrangements, including a 24-hour free community kitchen and medical facilities, are in place to ensure a smooth journey for the pilgrims.

As the chants of 'Bam Bam Bhole and Jai Jai Baba Barfani' echo around the temple, the excitement among the pilgrims is palpable. 'This is my first pilgrimage to Amarnath shrine, and I am thrilled to seek the blessings of my lord,' said Ram Baba from Madhya Pradesh. For others, like a Sadhu from Himachal Pradesh, it is a recurring spiritual journey.
