The 43-day holy pilgrimage will culminate on Raksha Bandhan day (Rakhi festival) as per tradition. The yatra has been allowed with all COVID protocols in place.
The Amarnath yatra was cancelled midway in 2019 ahead of abrogation of Article 370 in August that year, while only a symbolic yatra was observed the past two years due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
