The Shiva Lingam is a stalagmite formation located at the Amarnath Mountain which has a peak of 5,186 metres (17,014 ft), and inside a 40 m (130 ft) high cave at an elevation of 3,888 m (12,756 ft). The stalagmite is formed due to the freezing of water drops that fall from the roof of the cave onto the floor resulting in an upward vertical growth of ice. There are different types of stalagmites. Here, the stalagmites considered as the lingam, a physical manifestation of Shiva, form a solid-dome-shape. Parvati and Ganesha are also present here as two smaller stalagmites.
It is also called Swayambhu Himani Shivling (Barfani Baba) as it is made of natural snow. From Ashadhi Purnima to Rakshabandhan, millions of people come here for the holy Himaling Darshan which takes place in the entire month of Shravan.
perimeter of the cave is about one and a half hundred feet and drops of ice water dripping from it in many places. There is a place in which a Shivling about ten feet high is formed by dripping snow drops. As the moon rises and falls, so does the size of the ice. By Shravan Purnima it comes in its full shape and gradually shrinks by the month of Amas. Surprisingly, this Shivling is made of solid ice, while the cave usually contains raw ice which crumbles at the touch of a hand.
