Few mountains in the world rival the
grandeur of Mount Kailash (6714m) , the famed holy

of worship for four major religions. For the Hindus,
it is the domain of Shiva . It is also the abode of
Samvara-a multi armed, wrathful deity worshipped in
the Chakrasamvara Tantric cycle of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Jains of India also revere the mountain as the
site at which the first of their saints emancipated.
And in the ancient Bon religion of Tibet, Kailash
was the sacred nine storey Swastika Mountain, upon
which the Bonpo founder Shenrab alighted from heaven.
