Story of Amarnath Cave (Amarnath Gufa Katha)
According to Hindu beliefs, Lord Shiva resides in the Amarnath cave. It is believed that when Goddess Parvati wanted to know the reason for immortality from Lord Shiva, Lord Shiva asked Goddess Parvati to narrate a story. He chose the Amarnath cave to narrate the story of immortality so that no one else could hear this story.
To reach this cave, Lord Shiva first abandoned his Nandi i.e. his vehicle in Pahalgam. After this, Lord Shiva freed the moon from his matted hair in Chandanwadi.
After this, on the banks of a lake named Sheshnag, he also freed the snakes from his neck, he decided to leave his son Ganesh on the Mahagunas mountain. Then reaching a place named Panchtarni, Lord Shiva also abandoned the five elements (earth, water, air, fire and sky).
Leaving all this aside, when Lord Shiva entered the Amarnath cave with Mata Parvati and took samadhi there, after this, Lord Shiva created Kalagni and ordered him to spread fire to destroy every living creature present around the cave, so that no one except Mata Parvati could hear the Amar Katha, then Lord Shiva started telling Mata Parvati the secret of immortality. But it is believed that suddenly a pair of pigeons reached there and they heard the secret of immortality, with which this pair of pigeons attained immortality. Even today this pair of pigeons is seated in the temple of Baba Barfani.
