Asia's
most sacred mountain stands in a remote corner
of western Tibet, isolated by rugged terrain
from all but a handful of outsiders. Its name
is Mount Kailas, its reputation near - legendary.
To pilgrims of four religions, this 22,028 -
foot rock pyramid is the throne of the gods
and the 'Navel of the Earth', a place where
the divine takes earthly ofrm. For well over
a thousand years, pilgrims have journeyed here
to pay homage to the mountains's mystery, circumambulating
it in an ancient ritual of devotion that continues
to this day.
 To
each pilgrims Kailash speaks differently. Hindus
cross the frozen mountain passes of India and
Nepal to circle the peak that is Shiva's throne
and bath in the lake created from the Mind-Manas
of Brahma. Buddhists journey from ladakh, Bhutan,
Nepal, Mongolia and every corner of Tibet to
this holiest Mountain which they call 'Kall
Rinpoche', the 'Precious Snow Mountain'. The
Jain religion knows Kailas as Mount Ashtapada
and to the Bonpo, followers of Tibet's old pre-Buddhist
beliefs, it is the 'Nine-Storey Swastika Mountain',
the mystic soul of the entire region.
