position in the spiritual geography of Asia. For Indian devotees, its significance is deeply rooted in myth, belief, and centuries-old scriptures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Hindus:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mount Kailash is believed to be the heavenly residence of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is described in the Shiva Purana and other ancient texts as the center of the universe. The pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar is part of the sacred \u201cKailash Mansarovar Yatra,\u201d believed to cleanse one&#8217;s sins and grant moksha (liberation).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Jains:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mount Kailash is recognized as Mount Ashtapada, where Rishabhadeva, the first Tirthankara, attained nirvana. It\u2019s a place of eternal knowledge and peace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Buddhists:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tibetan Buddhists regard it as the home of Demchog (also known as Chakrasamvara), the representation of supreme bliss. The mountain is also believed to be the site where the great Buddhist saint Milarepa once meditated and defeated a Bon shaman in a spiritual duel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Bon Followers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the indigenous faith of Tibet, the Bon religion regards Mount Kailash as the axis mundi\u2014the spiritual pivot of the world. It is believed to be the seat of the founder of the Bon tradition, Tonpa Shenrab.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of faith, thousands of pilgrims undertake the <em>kora<\/em>\u2014a 52-kilometer trek around Mount Kailash\u2014each year.
