This beautiful hill station is dedicated to Lord Shiva , his wife Parvati and their son Lord Ganesha .During the month of ‘Sawan’, an ice stalagmite forms a natural Shiv Ling . This lingam is believed to increase and diminish according to the shape of the moon. There are two smaller lingams by its side dedicated to Parvati and Lord Ganesha. The Amarnath Yatra is organised every year by the Jammu and Kashmir Government during the month of “sharavan” i.e. in July – August. Chandanwari is the starting point of the Amarnath Yatra and the destination is Amaranth Cave , which is supposed to the abode of Lord Shiva. One can reach Chandanwari by car or by bus but from Chandanwari onwards the track becomes much steeper and can be accessed only on foot or by pony. Located 11-km from Chandanwari is the lake of Sheshnag , after which 13-km away is the last stop, Panchtarni . The Amarnath cave is 6-km away from there. Even if one’s visit to Pahalgam is not during the period of the Yatra, one can still take a pony ride up to Sheshnag Lake and can return back by late night.For the “Yatra” to Amarnath one has to trek a height of about 14,500 ft. Surrounded by beautiful valleys and mountains, one can enjoy the serenity of this hill station. It is a journey that will rediscover the nature and its marvels.

from the silk yarn.For long, the mulberry silk produced in the Valley was taken to faraway western

countries. Historians say a century ago Kashmir had a “dynamic silk trade.” In 1940s, the precious

silk yarn was even exported to the entire British Empire. “Silk industry was a main revenue earner

for the state during the Maharaja rule. Kashmir had its indigenous races of silkworm and would produce

best quality cocoons in the world,” said an official associated with the sector.There are lots of things

made from the kashmiri silk.The product made from the kashmiri silk have a great demand in national

and international markets.Mulberry cocoon reared in the state of Jammu and Kashmir is the superior

Pistachio Nuts

Pistachio Nuts

A little known fact about the Pistachio nut is that it actually produces its own salt.The pistachio

is a member of the cashew family.Pistachio is a desert plant, and is highly tolerant of saline soil.

It has been reported to grow well when irrigated with water having 3,000–4,000 ppm of soluble salts.

Pistachio trees are fairly hardy in the right conditions, and can survive temperatures ranging

between -10 °C (14 °F) in winter and 48 °C (118 °F) in summer. Pistachio trees can be found in

regions of Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Xinjiang (China), Tunisia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,

Turkmenistan, India, Egypt, Italy (Sicily), Uzbekistan, Afghanistan (especially in the provinces

of Samangan and Badghis), and the United States, specifically in California.The shell of the pistachio

is naturally a beige color, but it is sometimes dyed red or green in commercial pistachios. Originally,

dye was applied by importers to hide stains on the shells caused when the seeds were picked by hand.

Most pistachios are now picked by machine and the shells remain unstained, making dyeing unnecessary

except to meet ingrained consumer expectations.The fat profile of pistachios is roughly 14% saturated

fat, 54% monounsaturated fat and 32% polyunsaturated fat.

There are only two or three places in the whole world where saffron grows. Kashmir has the proud privilege

of being one of these places.After the gold saffron is the most expensive thing in the local market.

The state of Jammu and Kashmir is the place where Saffron is predominately cultivated in India. In

fact Kashmir is considered to be one of the three (Iran, Spain and India) largest cultivating places

of Saffron all over the world.The flower of the saffron plant is purple in colour bearing orange, red,

trifled stigma, which when dried becomes the spice of commerce. One kg of dry saffron fetches around

Rs 1.80 lakh. It takes 250,000 stigmas to make just half a kilo of saffron.The use of saffron comes

down to us from antiquity; the spice was used by ancient Greeks, Indians, and Egyptian in both cooking

and medicine.It is expensive because as it is stigmas of the saffron flower and Each flower contains

only three stigmas,moreover these flowers are picked by hands.The saffron plant is very small and its

flower is the only part which is seen above the ground.it has been estimated that 75,000 of these

flowers are needed to produce just one pound of Saffron filaments.Nowdays saffron are being used in

different field such as,Food industry, Food and Beverages ,Medicinal and Pharmaceutical,Cooking,Cosmetics,

Perfumes and Dyes.Saffron has been used as spice and coloring agent for many centuries and has numerous

medicinal properties. It is by far one of the oldest herbs ever used for medicinal purposes in the

history of mankind and up to this date it is being used in some regions of the world such as India.

Saffron should be stored in an airtight container and kept away from moisture and bright light. Bright

light such as sunlight will bleach the color of saffron. That is why when the crocus flower blooms,

the flower has to be picked at dawn (Sahar) before the sun shines on it. Also do not expose your saffron

to the moisture. Do not open your jar of saffron near a boiling pot of water in the kitchen.
