Mount Kailash Yatra - the most sacred mountain for the Hindus is located in
the remote corner of the Western Tibet. It is revered as one of the most

and is revered by the followers of these religions as the holy place where
the divine takes earthly form. Pilgrims believe that by taking a single
circuit tours of the sacred path their sins of a lifetime are erased. Their
faith proclaims that not just the mountain's ice capped summit but the
entire region is the abode of the gods: a holy land made doubly sacrosanct
by the presence of nearby Lake Mansarovar, fifteen-mile-wide circle of
deepest blue which is among man's most ancient holy sites. Mount Meru
appears at the heart of Asian religious cosmography. It is the central pivot
around which the whole of creation revolves the
World
Pillar and the First of Mountains.  |
