The naturally-formed ice Shiv lingam at the holy cave shrine of Amarnath in Jammu and Kashmir [Images] has completely melted, chief executive officer of Shree Amarnathji Shrine Board Arun Kumar said on Sunday.
The ice Shiv lingam has melted down owing to the rise in temperature, Kumar, who accompanied Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil to the cave on Sunday, told PTI.
"It is a normal phenomenon. Weather affects the shape and size of the ice Shiv lingam," he said. However, Kumar said two other ice lingams, representing Ganesh and Parvati, have not melted, though their size has reduced.
