Amarnath Cave Temple is located in Jammu and Kashmir on Mount Amarnath. The Amarnath caves are one of the most famous Hindu shrines. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The main cave houses an ice stalagmite resembling the Shiva Linga, which waxes during May to August and gradually wanes thereafter. This lingam is said to grow and shrink with the phases of the moon, reaching its height during the summer festival. According to Hindu mythology, this is the cave where Shiva explained the secret of life and eternity to his divine consort Parvati. There are also two other ice formations representing Parvati and Ganesha.
