Mt. Kailash & Lake Manasarovar is the most
sacred pilgrimage for four different religions
(Buddhist, Hindus, Jains, and Vaishnab). Every
year, large numbers of pilgrims from all different
religions travel to Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarovar
to pay their homage. Mt. Kailash (6714 meters),
Asia's most sacred mountain, is located in a
high and isolated enclave of West Tibet. Mt.
Kailash is one of the 3 pilgrimage sites in
the area, known collectively as Kangri Tsosum;
the other two are Ponri Ngaden and Lake Manasarover.
All are said to be at the heart of the ancient
Shangshung kingdom, the supposed land of origin
of pre-Buddhist sect Bonpos. Mt. Kailash is
their soul mountain (lari), which they also
call Yungdrung Gu Tse (the Nine story Swastika
Mountain). This is the very place where it is
stated that the sects legendary founder, Tonpa
Shenrab, descended from heaven to earth. Lord
Shiva both the creator and destroyer of life
is believed by Hindus to reside in the holy
mountain.
