In Hinduism, Mount Kailash is regarded as the celestial residence of Lord Shiva, where he and his Himalayan daughter Parvati are said to be permanently seated in meditation. It is thought that Kailash Parvat, a sacred mountain, is the world's spiritual center and the ultimate destination for the soul. Situated close to Mount Kailash, Lake Mansarovar is highly esteemed as a source of holiness and a well-known destination that draws Hindu pilgrims from all over the world who participate in the Kailash Yatra. During this pilgrimage, it is thought that immersing in the waters of Mansarovar and performing the rite of drinking from its pure source will purge the pilgrims of sins accrued over a hundred lifetimes.
Those who are lucky enough to travel to Kailash Parvat and Lake Mansarovar on this holy pilgrimage return home with a treasured recollection that reminds them of Lord Shiva's presence in their lives and instills a sense of calm and peace. These sacred sites' unspoiled beauty and eminent tranquility are simply mesmerizing, strengthening the bond between pilgrims and Lord Shiva.
While the Tibetans refer to it as "Kora," the Hindus refer to it as "Parikrama," and both titles refer to the same clockwise pilgrimage around Mount Kailash. Although physically taxing, this practice is an integral component of the pilgrimage to Mount Kailash. With the right preparation, pious travelers can successfully accomplish this important spiritual journey.
