Spiritual Significance of Mount Kailash (6,714 m)

Revered variously as Kang Rinpoche, Tise, or Kailasa, Mount Kailash stands at an elevation of 6,714 meters on the Tibetan Plateau. Its four distinct faces mark the origin region of four major Asian rivers: the Indus, Brahmaputra, Sutlej, and Karnali.

• Hindus: Revere Mt. Kailash as the eternal abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
• Buddhists: View the peak as the earthly Mandala of Demchok (Chakrasamvara) and Dhyani-Buddhas.
• Bonpos: Consider Kailash as the sacred nine-story Swastika mountain where founder Shenrab descended from heaven.
• Jains: Honor it as Ashtapada, the site where the first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, attained liberation.
