Kailasa [Mountain] (English spelling)
A legendary mountain in ancient India, Mount Kailash (Tibetan name: Kangrinboche, transliterated in Chinese as Gangrenboqifeng) is said to be located in the western part of the Kailash Range in southwestern Tibet. It has been revered since ancient times as a sacred place in Hinduism and Lamaism. In Indian epics and Puranas, this mountain often appears as the residence of the god Shiva, along with Lake Manasa at its foot. It is also said that the palace of Kubera (also known as Vaiśravaṇa, Bishamonten), one of the four guardian deities of the world and the god of the north, is located on this mountain.
