TOPSHOTS Hindu devotees walk during their pilgrimage to the holy Amarnath Cave Shrine, at Bairey Marg on August 18, 2013. Every year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims trek through treacherous mountains in revolt-torn Kashmir, along icy streams, glacier-fed lakes and frozen passes, to reach the Amarnath cave, located at an altitude of 3,857 meters (12,729 feet), where a Shiva Lingam, an ice stalagmite shaped as a phallus and symbolising the Hindu God Shiva, stands for worship.
