In Hindu religion, the holy Mount Kailash is regarded as the ultimate destination for soul. In Hindu Puranas, Mt. Kailash is considered to be the spiritual centre and a pillar for the world. It is believed that the four faces of holy Mt. Kailash are made of crystal, ruby, gold and lapis lazuli. Not only this, but it is also said that the four rivers flowing from Mt. Kailash divide the world into four quarters. Some tradition in Hindu mythology also consider Mount Kailash as Shiva’s linga and Lake Manasarovar as the yoni of his consort.

For Jain religion, Kailash is known as Meru Parvat and the mountain near Mt. Kailash is known as Ashtapad, a mount where the founder of Jain faith Rishabhdeva attained liberation from rebirth. Every year, thousands of Jain pilgrims travel to Mount Kailash and Ashtapad and attain circumambulation of Mt. Kailash to remove their sins and bring good fortune.

Tantric Buddhists, call mount Kailash Gang Rinpoche and believe that mount Kailash is the dwelling place Demchok (or Chakrasamwara). In Buddhism, it is considered that Mount Kailash is a sacred mountain and the abode of Chakra Samvara and Guru Rinpoche who brought Buddhism to Tibet and beyond.
