Amarnath Yatra begins today [29 June 2024]: Missed registration? Here’s how to secure your spot

New Delhi: An annual Hindu pilgrimage, Amarnath Yatra is considered very sacred. Every year millions of pilgrims undertake this pilgrimage to achieve salvation. The much-awaited Amarnath Yatra has commenced today (29 June), drawing thousands of devotees eager to undertake the sacred pilgrimage to the holy Amarnath cave in the Himalayas. As per the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) framed by the Supreme Court of India, only 15000 registered Shri Amarnath Yatra pilgrims are allowed beyond Pehlgam and Baltal in a day which includes 7500 each from Baltal track and Pahalgam track.

For the convenience of the pilgrims, for their journey to the pilgrimage to Shri Amarnath Cave Shrine, Shri Amarnath Shrine Board also considers to open ‘On-Spot Registration Centres’ if the Yatra Registration for the day is below the prescribed limit of 15,000 registrations. For those who missed the online registration, worry not—there’s still a way to be part of this spiritual journey. On-spot registration provides an alternative for pilgrims who couldn’t complete the process earlier. Here’s everything you need to know about securing your spot through on-spot registration.

On-Spot Registration Process

Last year a Token System was introduced for providing hassle free on spot registration facility in Jammu. Tokens will be provided to the pilgrims at Sangam Banquet Hall near Jammu Railway Station along with Registration Form, Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC), Information Brochure and Instruction Manual.

District administration has introduced this token system so that the limited quota of On Spot Registration is utilized judiciously and the rush can be managed without causing inconvenience to the pilgrims.

On Spot Registration Counters

Last year three On Spot Registration Counters have been established at Vaishnavi Dham and Sarasvati Dham at Railway Station and Mahajan Sabha Community Hall near Ranbireshwar Temple at Shalamar Road in Jammu.

A person can take only two tokens, provided she/ he produces the requisite Identity Proof of second family member.
The On-spot Registration Centres are setup to help un-registered pilgrims from all over the country to get them registered before proceeding to the Holy Cave Shrine.

Please note
Pilgrims should still prefer to get registration from their respective areas well in advance and should try not to leave for Yatra with the aniticipation to go for ‘On-spot Registration’ as it may cause them inconvenience because one might be required to stand in the queue for quite some time as large gatherings are usually seen at On-spot Registration Centres.
