The on-the-spot registration for token holders commenced on Wednesday morning, while token distribution continued for the second consecutive day for pilgrims reaching Jammu from different parts of the country

The registration centres resonated with chants of ''Har Har Mahadev'' and ''Bam Bam Bhole'', as the devotees waited patiently for their turn

While waiting for their turn, devotees expressed enthusiasm as they prepared to take the journey to the holy cave shrine

The Devotees undertake this yatra to pay obeisance to the naturally formed ice Shivling, which symbolises Lord Shiva

The 57-day pilgrimage this year will commence simultaneously from the traditional 48-km Nunwan-Pahalgam route in Anantnag district and the shorter but steeper 14-km Baltal route in Ganderbal district on July 3.
