Thousands of devotees visit the shrine of Baba Barfani (a name given to Lord Shiva) at Amarnath every year. This year, Baba Barfani’s Amarnath Yatra will span across 52 days, from June 29 to August 19. The first batch of devotees from Sikar in Rajasthan will leave on June 27. The devotees participating in the 18th Amarnath Yatra will travel via Balaghat and Pahalgam route and will be able to visit Baba Barfani’s shrine on July 1. This time, around 850 devotees are likely to visit the shrine from Sikar (Rajasthan). Devotees are still registering, so the number is likely to increase. Ashok Kumar Saini, member of Amarnath Yatra Sangh Sikar, said in an interview that one can also get immediate registration done for the yatra. For this, one has to get a token two days in advance.
To register, visit the e-Mitra centre with your medical certificate, Aadhaar card, and photo. If the certificate is valid, pay a fee of Rs 220 at e-Mitra, after which the registration will be printed and given as a receipt. During the e-Mitra registration process, the pilgrim’s Aadhaar details will be updated on the portal. The pilgrim must complete a thumb impression-based e-KYC certification. Once authentication is complete, the Shrine Board’s portal will automatically import the pilgrim’s details such as name, age, father’s name and photo from the Aadhaar system. Information such as the route of the journey, blood group and mobile number will also be recorded. The pilgrim’s travel permit will be generated from the portal, containing a unique registration number. Offline registration is also available.
The 32nd bhandara will be organised by Shri Amarnath Langar Seva Samiti Shri Ganganagar Branch, Sikar. It will start from June 29 near the holy cave of Baba Amarnath and will continue till the day of Rakshabandhan. It has arrangements for food, breakfast and tea for all the pilgrims. Along with this, arrangements for overnight stay are also made for the devotees at Baltal base camp. This bhandara will be dispatched from Sikar city on June 16.
