Amarnath Yatra: Prayers at Shankaracharya Temple Mark Tradition
Imagine a special, holy stick called the Chhari Mubarak, which is like a symbol of Lord Shiva.
It goes on a journey every year.
First, it visited a temple in Srinagar to pray for good things to happen.
People sang special songs and prayed together.
The person in charge of the stick, Mahant Deependra Giri, led the way.
