Amarnath Pad-Yatra

Pilgrimage to the Ice Lingam
The Amarnath Yatra in Jammu & Kashmir takes devotees to the sacred cave where the ice Shivalinga forms naturally each year. Walking through rugged Himalayan terrain, pilgrims chant “Har Har Mahadev” as they approach the cave where Lord Shiva revealed the secret of immortality to Parvati.

Puri Rath Pad-Yatra

Walking with Lord Jagannath
The Puri Rath Yatra is one of India’s grandest spiritual festivals, where Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra are taken out of the sanctum and placed on massive wooden chariots. The Pad Yatra experience allows seekers to walk alongside the chariots on the Bada Danda (Grand Road) from the Jagannath Temple to the Gundicha Temple. Walking this sacred path is believed to dissolve sins and bring the blessings of Lord Jagannath, who steps out to meet his devotees.
