JAMMU: Devyani Rana, Vice President of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha Jammu and Kashmir UT (J&K BJYM), undertook the sacred pilgrimage to the Shri Amarnath Ji shrine and paid obeisance at the holy cave. Her visit comes during the auspicious month of Shravan, a period revered in the Hindu tradition as especially sacred for the worship of Lord Shiva.

Ms. Rana described the experience as deeply spiritual and profoundly humbling. "There are moments that remind us of who we are, where we come from, and what connects us as a people. This yatra is one such moment. To walk the path so many have walked in devotion, along with feeling the energy of prayer, is both grounding and uplifting," she said.

The month of Shravan is marked by devotion, fasting, and prayers dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is traditionally during this sacred period that the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra draws lakhs of pilgrims from all over the country, united in faith and purpose.

Ms. Rana lauded the Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board, administration, and security forces for their exceptional coordination and unwavering dedication to the safety, comfort, and well-being of the pilgrims. ā€œFrom various facilities to logistical support, every detail has been thoughtfully planned and executed.ā€ She noted. As the yatra continues through the holy month, Ms. Rana urged devotees from across India to join the divine pilgrimage.
