Spiritual Importance of Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar
Mount Kailash is not just a mountain, it is the holiest symbol of divinity. The Hindus consider it the home of Lord Shiva, where he meditates with his wife Goddess Parvati. Buddhists believe it is the axial pole of the universe. Jains consider it the sacred site where their first pilgrim, Rishabhdev, attained salvation. Followers of the Bon religion consider Kailash to be the seat of the sky goddess Sipamen and hold it in high esteem. These beliefs of holy Mount Kailash attract millions of pilgrims from around the globe who every year come here and circumambulate the mountain with great deep devotion.
Mount Kailash Kora: Divine circumambulation
Circumambulation around Mount Kailash-known as a Kora- 52-kilometer trek is a deeply meaningful spiritual act that pushes both the human body and soul to the spiritual limits. Most pilgrims make this trek in three days, beginning at Darchen, going over the high-altitude Dolma-La Pass at 5,645 meters, and down into the beautiful valley below. It is believed that every step of Kailash Kora cleanses sins and brings spiritual merit. Completing 13 or 108 circumambulations of Mount Kailash is even more auspicious for those seeking a deep dive into the spiritual experience. As an adventure amidst ancient ruins, the trek to Mount Kailash offers panoramic views of the Tibetan landscape, snow-capped peaks, and tranquil high-altitude lakes. The sacred Lake Mansarovar lies at the foot of Mount Kailash and is one of the highest sources of fresh water on earth. The lake is extremely sacred to pilgrims and its waters are believed to have properties that purify the soul and cure diseases.
