 mountain, summit, hinduism

Om Parvat is an ancient holy Hindu Himalayan mountain peak at an altitude of 5570 m. It's part of the Himalayan Range lying in the disputed Kalapani region. The mountain lies on the defacto border between India and Nepal.

The snow deposition pattern gives the impression of 'AUM' (ॐ) written over it, which is a sacred Hindu Mantra or chant. Beautiful 'Parvati lake' and 'Jonglingkong lake' are situated near Om Parvat. The Jonglingkong lake is sacred like Mansarovar to the Hindus.

The opposite to this peak there is a mountain called Parwati Muhar, and snow over it shines like crown in sunlight. This peak was climbed for the first time by an Indo-British team including Martin Moran, T. Rankin, M. Singh, S. Ward, A. Williams and R. Ausden. Climbers did not climb above 6,000 M, due to sacred nature of the peak!
