Mount Kailash - mecca for pilgrims from India, Nepal and Tibet
- 5 years ago
Mount Kailash is a peak in the Kailas Range (Gangdisê Mountains), which are part of the Transhimalaya in Tibet. It lies near the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia: the Indus River, the Sutlej River (a major tributary of the Indus River), the Brahmaputra River, and the Karnali River (a tributary of the Ganges River). It is considered a sacred place in four religions: Bön, Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. In Hinduism, it is considered to be the abode of Lord Shiva and a place of eternal bliss. This mount Kailash is a representation of his home, as actual Shivalaya (Home of Shiva) is different. It is above the 14 lok of Brahma, 14 lok of Vishnu, 28 lok of Rudra, 56 lok of Shiva and then Kailash as mentioned in Shiva Purana. The mountain lies near Lake Manasarowar and Lake Rakshastal in Tibet.
