KASHMIR,INDIA, JULY 24: Muslim palanquin bearers (chairs on poles) carry pilgrims to the holy cave of Amarnath, one of the most revered of Hindu shrines, near the resort town of Pahalgam, about 70 miles southeast of Srinagar, July 24, 2003. Hundreds of porters, palanquin bearers and pony owners hire out their services to the Hindus on their pilgrimage. Nearly 120,000 pilgrims are expected to take part in this year's pilgrimage during the month-long festival and 21,000 paramilitary soldiers and policemen have been deployed along the mountain route to protect the pilgrims from Islamic guerrillas, who have been fighting for independence of the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir since 1989.
