**Foreign Pilgrims Join Amarnath Yatra Amid Tight Security**

**Srinagar, July 25, 2025** – The annual Amarnath Yatra continues with strong participation, including nine pilgrims from six foreign nations. Amidst heightened security following a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, over 350,000 devotees have visited the holy cave shrine in Anantnag district since the pilgrimage began on July 3rd.

Pilgrims from the United States, Canada, and Germany, were among those who completed the yatra yesterday, expressing awe at the experience. “Our group has been preparing for ‘darshan’ for the past four to five years. Finally, we are here. The geography, nature and the energy of the cave was a beautiful experience,” stated Ross Nomanleich from Canada, a member of the Shiva Tantra school. Nomanleich further shared that he experienced “a deep silence” and “redemption of consciousness” during the darshan.

The foreign pilgrims also praised the administration for the well-managed arrangements.

Simultaneously, the Chhari Mubarak Swami Amarnath, a silver mace representing Lord Shiva, was carried to the revered Shankaracharya Temple in Srinagar, where priests conducted special prayers.

This year’s yatra is taking place under the shadow of a recent terror attack in Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow, which tragically claimed the lives of 26 civilians. Security forces remain vigilant to ensure the safety of all pilgrims.
