Amarnath Cave is located in which union territory?

Jammu and Kashmir

Amarnath Cave is a well-known pilgrimage site in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, in the Himalayan region. It is associated with the Amarnath Yatra and is visited by devotees during the pilgrimage season. The location is often confused with Ladakh because both are Himalayan regions, but the cave is not in Ladakh. Delhi and Puducherry are also Union Territories, yet neither contains this cave.

Option B is correct: Jammu and Kashmir. The answer depends on identifying the present administrative location of the cave, not merely its mountain setting or religious importance. Option A is a plausible distractor because Ladakh is geographically nearby and also mountainous, but it is a separate Union Territory. Options C and D are unrelated to the site’s location. Accurate map knowledge helps distinguish these territories.
