HEILIGER BERG Reisende & Pilger am Berg Kailas Tibet Manasarovar. HB/DJ
THE SACRED MOUNTAIN Travellers and Pilgrims at Mount Kailas in Western Tibet, and the Great Universal Symbol of the Sacred Mountain. JOHN SNELLING EAST WEST PUBLICATIONS 1983 1st Edition. 24 x 16 cm. xii + 241 pp + b/w photo plates. Map endpapers. HB/DJ Although now inaccessible to Western travellers, Mount Kailas remains supremely fascinating. For this 22,000 foot mountain, lying on the far side of the main Himalayan range in a remote region of Tibet, is arguably the most sacred in all Asia. It was venerated by the faithful of four great religions (Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bon-po) and many ardent pilgrims made the long and hazardous pilgrimage to it, the consummation of which was a 32-mile circumambulation along a route replete with monasteries and sites of profound religious significance.
