The Jammu and Kashmir Shri Amarnathji Shrine Act of 2000 is the state government's own statute establishing the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board to regulate and manage the Amarnath cave shrine and its annual Hindu pilgrimage. As the legislative instrument itself, it is the direct and authoritative source for the shrine's formal legal governance structure and the powers and duties the state assigned to the board. Its limit is that it is an administrative law rather than a historical or religious-studies account of the pilgrimage's origins, its religious significance to pilgrims or the site's longer history, all of which a dedicated scholarly or ethnographic source addresses on different terms.

Reliability Tier3
The Jammu and Kashmir Shri Amarnathji Shrine Act, 2000, published by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir, is the state government's own statute establishing the Shrine Board, the lower tier reflecting that it is administrative law rather than a historical or religious-studies account of the pilgrimage's origins or religious significance, notwithstanding that it is the direct authoritative source for the shrine's formal legal governance structure. NotesThe State of Jammu and Kashmir's own statute governing the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (2000); the legislative text itself, not a scholarly or historical account of the Amarnath pilgrimage.
