Mount Kailasa: A Sacred Symbol Across Cultures

Mount Kailasa is revered as a sacred spiritual center by multiple ethnicities and religions, particularly those around the Himalayas. Hindus across India and Nepal worship it as the abode of Lord Shiva, making it a significant pilgrimage site. Tibetan Buddhists, along with Buddhists from Bhutan, Mongolia, and parts of China, regard it as Kang Rinpoche, the home of Buddha Demchok, and a place of immense spiritual power. Jains honor it as the site where their first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, attained Nirvana. The Bön religion of Tibet considers Kailasa a center of spiritual energy. Local Himalayan ethnic groups, including those from Tibet, Nepal, and India, also hold Mount Kailasa in high cultural and spiritual regard, integrating it deeply into their traditions, folklore, and rituals.
