Jammu, June 29: The annual Amarnath Yatra will be kept symbolic even this year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, devotees can take live darshan and be a part of the live traditional Amarnath aarti from the holy shrine via television and also on YouTube. Even this year, the Amarnath Shrine Board has made special arrangements to live broadcast Lord Amarnath aarti on the Doordarshan channel. The decision to keep the pilgrimage symbolic was taken after discussions with members of the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board, officials said.

As the pilgrimage for the general public has been cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha directed officials to make arrangements so that devotees can virtually attend the morning and evening ‘aartis’ at the Himalayan cave shrine. This will allow devotees to pay obeisance while avoiding travel and exposure to the COVID-19 infection.  Amarnath Aarti 2021 Live Streaming on DD National: Lord Shiva Devotees Can Watch Aarti Live From Holy Shrine at 5 PM.
