Hindu says, this is the domain of Shiva (Destroyer and Transformer), Buddhist believes, Kailash is the abode of Samvara (A multi-armed wrathful deity), Tibetan takes it as Khang Rinpoche or ‘precious jewel of the snow’, and Bonpo and Jains have illustrated Kailash differently.

Kailash is the great source of four great rivers which flow in four different directions. The Karnali falls into the Ganges (South), Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra, east), Sutlej (west), and Indus (north). The credit goes to these rivers for the ancient civilizations.
