It was designed as a pagoda with a golden spire, two copper roofs, silver corners, and hand-carved wood carvings. A golden statue of Nandi (Shiva's bull) guards the inner area of the main temple.

25 July 2026 (Saturday) Day 02: Early in the morning, Kailash pilgrims are taken to Pashupatinath temple for Rudra Consecration called Rudrabhishek, Hawan and Aarati. Eleven Brahmins priests prepare for fire offering Hawan in Pavilion (Mandap) and do Sankalpa Pooja in the beginning followed by Swastibachan (Preaching), Nyas, Rudra preaching and Mahamritunjaya (Death victory) Pooja. The word ‘Rudra’, meaning ‘Fearful Lord Shiva’ has come from Rudrabhishek, Rudranti iti Rudri, Rudhiryoge Metal. It means there is pain, violence, greed among people in this Earth and we perform religious hymn in praise of God Shiva so that he escapes people from all these miseries of life and grants justice, good healthy, prosperity, peace and Salvation. This is why Rudri is done for Peaceful life. During Kailash Manasarovar tour, visit to Pashupatinath and its worship is the first thing to do for pilgrims. It is believed that worshipping Lord Pashupatinath, doing Aarati grants all kinds of good merits to devotees.

This is why Kailash Tour is believed to be complete only after a holy visit to Pashupatinath. Kailash Manasarovar is one of the most important pilgrimage sites. Kailash is pilgrimage even 12th Jyothirlinga and Shiva Temples. In this Universe, Humans are superior to Soul, Sages are superior to Humans, Gods are superior to sages and Lord Shiva is superior even to Gods and Kailash is the dwelling place of supreme Lord Shiva. So, every pilgrimage is believed to be incomplete without Kailash Pilgrimage. It is popular religious trend to wish for successful Kailash Manasarovar tour by doing Rudra (Shiva’s idol) Consecration and fire offering (Hawan) to Lord Pashupatinath, which takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Panchamrit Puja in Pashupatinath: Panchamrit, which literally means "five nectars," consists of milk, curd, honey, clarified butter and sugar. In Panchamrit Puja, these five ingredients are mixed with water and poured over the Shiva Linga (Panchamrit Snan (Bath), which represents Lord Shiva. Panchamrit Puja can be performed independently or in combination with other more elaborate rituals. As a way of offering devotion and seeking blessings from Lord Shiva, priests perform this reverent act. During the Abhishek puja at Pashupatinath Temple, which takes place approximately 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM daily. During this sacred ceremony, devotees witness the deity being bathed as part of the temple's morning rituals. Abhishek Puja, specifically is a sacred Vedic ritual dedicated to Lord Shiva, in which the Shiva Linga is ceremonially bathed in water, milk, and honey while chanting Vedic mantras. During the puja, the Linga is purified, offerings are made, and specific verses are chanted, such as the Rudra Suktam and the 108 names of Shiva. A bid like this usually comes from Monterosa Treks and Expeditions, a base in Kathmandu, Nepal that specializes in Kailash Manasarovar Yatri.

Visit Guhjeswari: What is the Shaktipeeth? The concept and definition of Shaktipeeth begins with the Ashyamed Yagya (an auspicious and spiritual fire ceremony in Hinduism) which was performed by Daksha Prajapati and his consorts and all the Kanyas (divine daughter princesses) and their bridegrooms. But the son-in-law Lord Mahadev was not invited which later the first wife Mata Sati Devi came to know and felt very sad and uncomfortable. After that she could not bear to insult Lord Mahadev, she jumped into the Yagya Kund and fell unconscious and did not give up her body. After Lord Mahadev found out about Ashyamed Yagya in Kailash, Ashyamed attended the Yagya and sacrificed Daksha Prajapati body.

Mahadev Shiva carried Sati Devi's dead body from the Yagya Kund on his shoulder being mad and grieving, he wandered around the universe while walking. The body parts of Mother Sati Devi fell into 51 places and became Shaktipeeth, which remain there to this day. Guhyeshori is a place where her private part (gopya) is believed to have fallen, some say it fell into her anus, which we call Guhyeshori. Among the Astha Matrika (eight mother goddesses), she is the mother of all. According to mythology, he is worshiped by both Hindu and Buddhist devotees.

Budhanilkantha (Jal Narayan) portrays a sleeping Vishnu, floating like a gigantic astronaut on a bed of snakes in the middle of a big pool of water depicting the cosmic ocean. The name Budhanilkantha has nothing to do with Buddha, but literally means “blue throat disguised by mud”. The peculiar name refers to two legends attached to the statue, one of them saying that a farmer found the long-lost statue in the mud when working his field with a plough and the other saying that Vishnu sacrificed himself by drinking the poison of the cosmic ocean, which then turned his throat blue.

Mount Kailash: The Scared religious place, Kailash Parbat is located on the height of 6714meters above sea level. This region is supposed to be the purest religious place. It is supposed to be the central part of the world and origin of the world before the origin of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Kailash Parbat is glorified in the holy books like Ramayana and Mahabharata. According to the ancient Asian stories, the civilization is incomplete without the description of Kailash Parbat. Kailash Parbat is located in Tibet. Scientific research of this region is not satisfactory. This religious Parbat is extended from Brahmaputra in the east to Karakoram in the west.

Different religious groups like Shaiba, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Bon-Po are respecting Kailash equally, though they explained it differently. In the Shaiba and Buddhist traditional literature, Kailash is described as the part of Sumeru which is supposed to be the center of the world. It is believed to be the residence of Lord Shiva and his wife Parvati as per Hindus. Buddhist respects it in the name of Kang Rimpoche. Buddhists have accepted Kailash and Manasarovar as great natural Mandala. Mandala for them is the means of respect and salvation, Jain worship as Astpada for this isolated peak.

The founding father of this religion Rishavadev had got spiritual salvation in the same place. There are various logics to claim this Parbat as sacred. This isolated Parbat is also source to big rivers like Brahmaputra, Sutlej, Indus and Karnali. The total periphery of Mount Kailash is 53 km and pilgrims should walk 38 km within 3 days and if add Charan Sparsh (Touch Kailash) tour than it will be 4 days Kora. As described in Hindu myth, a person who moves around the Kailash Parvat will be free from all the sins made in life time. If they move round the Parbat for 108 times, they directly get Nirvana. It is also said that a person who moves Nandi once, he/she gets return as equal of moving round the Kailash for 13 times.

Kailash Parvat is regarded as the form of Lord Shiva and the water flowing from its snowy tip is worshipped as holy river Ganges. Mount Kailash can be observed more beautifully from the side of this Monastery. Observing from Dirapuk, Mount Kailash is seen in between Mount Manjushree at right side and Mount Bajrapani at left side. River Ganges, originated from Mount Kailash meets Lachhu River and gets mixed into Rakshas Lake. Every river formed from Kailash Himalayan Ranges gets mixed into Rakshas Lake. The river formed from the junction of Rakshas Lake is called Karnali. Water from Rakshas Lake escapes via Karnali River but water of Manasarovar is stored in the form of Lake.

This place is also known as Yam Dwar. Getting off from the bus at Yam Dwar, all the pilgrims are offering to Lord Shiva. Then, we moved round the Yam Dwar for three times. According to Hindu religion, this place is known as the Gate of the God of Death (Yam Dwar).

Yam Dwar builds shape of temple. Inside 3 bells hanging and its call Varma, Vishnu and Maheshwar. This temple makes 3-time circuit enter inside of door. Belling and get out and continue walking or riding pony to Dirapuk first day of Parikrama. (Journey on foot begins from Yam Dwar) Physically disable pilgrims distantly pay homage to Kailash Parbat and return to Darchen because the visit of Yam Dwar is believed to get equally religious gain as they do for Kailash Parbat itself. This path / trail is somehow busy with pilgrims, horses, local porters, yaks and Nepali workers.

Information first Day of Kailash Kora: In order to reach Dirapuk, Yam Dwar must travel approximately 12 km (8 miles) away from Yam Dwar on the first day of Parikrama. The pilgrims ascend to Dirapuk, offering breathtaking views of Mount Kailash's north face, often assisted by horses, symbolizing a spiritual journey from earth to heaven. Dirapuk is a sacred holy place on the first day of the Kailash circle, located at the foot of Mount Kailash's north face and serving as an overnight stop for pilgrims. The highest resting point on the circuit, at 4900 meters (16665 feet), it offers unforgettable, breathtaking views of the mountain's north side and is a spiritual hub for Buddhists, Hindus, Jains, and Bonpo. Mount Kailash is a sacred peak in the Kailash range of the Tibet Autonomous region, China, considered the abode of the Hindu god Mahadeva and the holy center of the world. There are pilgrims who perform Pradkshina (circumambulations) around the mountain, believing this will lead to spiritual liberation, and who visit the sacred Holy Lake Manasarovar nearby to wash away sins.

After 3 hours long walking along the riverside path, we stopped for our lunch sport. Kailash Parbat is can be seeing clearly from here. Below the Parbat we can see a big stone in the shape of elephant. It is believed that God Indra rides on it. After 2 hours long walk, we can reach to Dirapuk. There is a Dirapuk Monastery situated on the edge of Lha Chhu River. The name of this place is given from the name of Monastery itself. This Monastery is located on the height of 4900m.

While returning back, takes around one and half hour to 2 hours and it is day tour / Yatra from Dirapuk. Charan Sparsh and touching Kailash are prohibited in August and September of 2024; Accordingly, the accident and Yatri visit took place below the Charan Sparsh, the program will be kept for 2026 and we will see what happens.

“Charan” means “feet” and “Sparsh” means “to touch”. Together they meaning to touch one’s feet”. It has been a tradition since time immemorial to touch the feet of Kailash Parbat. There is a scientific basis to “Charan Sparsh”. Since the human body is releasing vibrations touching the feet which encourages flow of energy and blessings, happiness and successful life. This exchange of energy gives one vigor, self-confidence and contentment. One experiences an inner glow. The blessings received after “Charan Sparsh” are like invisible amour.
