Srinagar, Jul 10: The holy shivlingam at Amarnath cave has reduced from 14 feet in the beginning to a mere six feet, due to constant heat generated because of a large number of devotees congregating at the cave, officials said.
The images of Goddess Parvati and Ganesh are also fast disappearing.
On Jun 29, the first day of Amarnath Yatra, the holy shivlingam was 14 feet high, but it has reduced by eight feet within a span of ten days, officials said.
There is still a month left for the Amarnath Yatra to end and the officials fear that the shivlingam may disappear by the time the yatra is over.
