According to Hinduism, Mount Kailash is considered the divine abode of Lord Shiva, where he is perpetually seated in meditation alongside his wife, Parvati, the daughter of the Himalayas. This sacred mountain, Kailash Parvat, is believed to be the ultimate destination for the soul and the spiritual epicenter of the world. Lake Mansarovar, located near Mount Kailash, is revered as a reservoir of purity and is a prominent place of pilgrimage, attracting Hindus from across the globe who embark on the Kailash Yatra. Immersing in the waters of Mansarovar and partaking in the ritual of drinking from its pristine source during this journey are believed to cleanse the pilgrims of sins accumulated over a hundred lifetimes.
The fortunate individuals who undertake this sacred pilgrimage to Lake Mansarovar and Kailash Parvat carry back with them a cherished memory, which serves as a constant reminder of Lord Shiva’s presence in their lives, imparting a sense of peace and tranquility. The untouched beauty and profound serenity of these hallowed locations are truly breathtaking, fostering a deep connection between pilgrims and Lord Shiva.
Hindus call it ‘Parikrama,’ while Tibetans refer to it as ‘Kora’ – both terms signify the same clockwise pilgrimage around Mount Kailash. This practice is an essential part of the journey to Mount Kailash, though it can be physically demanding. Devout pilgrims, with proper preparation, successfully complete this spiritually significant trek.
