Significance of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar

The Hindu religion holds Lord Shiva in high reverence, viewing him as powerful, strong, and willful. Mount Kailash, part of the Trans-Himalayan range in Tibet, presents a challenging journey due to its high altitude and harsh climate. If you are curious about the cost of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, you'll be pleased to know that there are various price options available to accommodate different budgets.

Hindus believe that Lord Shiva resides in Mount Kailash in a state of meditation. He lives there along with his divine consort, Parvati. It is considered that Kailash Mansarovar first originated in the mind of Lord Brahma, after which it came into physical being. The Lake Mansarovar is said to be a place where Lord Indra and Lord Shiva swam as swans. It is also believed that during ‘Brahma Muhurta’ or the period just before dawn, all the gods come to Lake Mansarovar for bathing. This is a period that is considered extremely auspicious in Hindu tradition.

If a devotee can do a ‘parikrama’ of Mount Kailash and take a dip in the holy waters of Lake Mansarovar, it is believed that all the sins he committed in his past 100 lives will be absolved and he will be a new man.
