 mountain, Jainism, pilgrimage, hinduism, buddhism, thevara paadal petra sthalam

The local Tibetan name is Kang Tise, in veneration Tibetan Buddhists call it Gang Rinpoche, "Snow Jewel", and regard it as the seat of the Buddhist deity Cakrasamvara (Demchog) as well as of the local mountain god Tise. Hindus see this mountain as Kailāśā Parvata, the abode of Lord Shiva according to the Puranas. Buddha's Place and holy Plan for Jains.

The word Kailāśā means "crystal" in Sanskrit. The Tibetan name for the mountain is Gangs Rin-po-che, meaning "precious jewel of snows". Another local name for the mountain is Tisé. In the Jain tradition, the mountain is referred to as Ashtapada. According to Hindu belief, Shiva, the God of destruction and regeneration, resides at Kailāśā. This Kailāśā is regarded in many sects of Hinduism as paradise, the ultimate destination of souls and the spiritual center of the world. The Tantric Buddhists believe that Kailash is the home of the Buddha Demchok (also known as Demchog or Chakrasamvara), who represents supreme bliss. The Jains who refer to the Kailash as Mount Ashtapada believe the founder of their faith, Rishabhadeva attained Nirvana at this place. The Bön, the religion which predates Buddhism in Tibet, maintain that the entire mystical region and the Nine story Swastika Mountain is the seat of all Spiritual power.
