Saddhu blowing shell before living with Chhari (Holy mace) from Deshnami Akhara temple in Srinagar Indian Kashmir. The holy mace will reach the Holy Cave on August 10 on Shravan Purnima which coincides with the Raksha Bhandan festival. The final Puja would be performed inside the cave early that day to mark the end of this year's annual Yatra. © Shafat Sidiq/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
