Legend of Amarnath Cave
According to mythological beliefs, Maharishi Bhrigu was the first to visit Amarnath cave. It is said that when the Kashmir valley was submerged, Maharishi Kashyap took out the water through rivers and drains. During that time, sage Bhrigu had come through the same route on his journey to the Himalayas and was in search of a secluded abode for penance. Then he saw the holy cave of Baba Amarnath. It is said that Amarnath Yatra started after this.
