Thousands of Sages, Ordinary Mortals, Philosophers and even Gods had submerged in the blissful trance at the very sight of this divine grandeur. It is the MERU, SUMERU, SUSHUMNA, HEMADRI (Golden Mountain), RATNASANU (Jewel Peak), KARNIKACHALA (Lotus Mountain), AMARADRI, DEVA PARVATHA (Summit of Gods), GANAPARVATHA, AJATADRI (Silver Mountain). Regarded as SWAYAMBHU, the self-created one, everything is said to emanate from here and finally returns here. Mind is the knot tying consciousness and maer-that is set free here. Famously known to be an abode of LORD SHIVA and his divine consort PARVATI, Mt. Kailash expounds the philosophy of PURUSHA and PRAKRITI-SHIVA and SHAKTI. The radiant SILVERLY summit is the throne of TRUTH, WISDOM and BLISS-SACHIDANANDAM. The primordial sound AUM (NADABINDU) from the nkling anklets of LALITA PRAKRITI created the visible paerns of the universe and the vibraons (DVANI) from the feet of Lord Shiva (NATARAJA) weaved the essence of ATMAN, the ulmate truth. The scriptures reiterate that one, who takes the holy dip at Mansarovar and carries out the Parikrama around Kailash, is absolved of his/her sins through generaons and is absorbed into the Supreme Finality. There is no re-birth; sorrows or joys and he/she will be with ulmate – the Lord Shiva. In other words, they become Shiva.

  • Destination Image for Pilgrimage and Tourism: a Study in Mount Kailash Region of Tibet
    FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA • ISSN 1336-6157 (hard copy) • ISSN 2454-1001 (online) DESTINATION IMAGE FOR PILGRIMAGE AND TOURISM: A STUDY IN MOUNT KAILASH REGION OF TIBET Premangshu CHAKRABARTY A*, Sanjoy Kumar SADHUKHAN B Received: April 28, 2020 | Revised: September 15, 2020 | Accepted: October 12, 2020 Paper No. 20-62/2-567 Abstract The study focuses on rituals performed during Kailash - Manasarover pilgrimage while investigating travel motivation aspects and the satisfaction level of visitors. Circumambulation of Mount Kailash and bathing in sacred Manasarover Lake of western Tibet are popular pilgrimage tourism rituals for which journeys are made annually despite of terrain hardship and adverse climatic condition. We have used ethnographic methods in collection of field data that include personal interviews, focus group discussions, questionnaire surveys and online surveys. One of the objectives of the study is to address the research gap on the role of destination image that motivates the devotees of different religious background to undertake such pilgrimage. We also pay attention on attributes that influence the selection of the individual pilgrimage routes initiated from Indian territory. The method adopted for analysis is qualitative involving software support for mapping. The discussion reveals the evolution of a distinctive cultural landscape that encourages pluralism with reference to a sustainable mechanism of coexistence for the pilgrimage tourism development. Key words Circumambulation, sacred, ritual, pilgrim tourists, route, landscape, pluralism. INTRODUCTION Pilgrimage is a process of establishing a rapport with the sacred geography by sending the message of the landscape that has been imbedded in the myths, leg- ends and tales. In shaping the pilgrimage experience, the myths have important part (Sopher, 1987).

  • Socio-Economic Dimensions of Tibetan Medicine in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China1 Part Two
    Asian Medicine 4 (2008) 492–514 brill.nl/asme Socio-Economic Dimensions of Tibetan Medicine in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China1 Part Two Th eresia Hofer Abstract Th is article investigates some of the socio-economic dimensions of contemporary Tibetan medi- cal practices in the rural areas of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), China. Th e article is divided into two parts. Part One, printed in the last issue of the journal, deals with traditional medical practitioners and their medical practices within the governmental health care system in the TAR. It sheds light on the workings and the eff ects that the commodification of the offi cial health care system have had on its Tibetan medical practitioners, most of whom now work as hybrid practitioners and incorporate Chinese-style biomedicine into their practice. I argue that several historical, social and political factors have brought about unequal access and availability of Tibetan medicine as compared to Chinese style biomedical care in the rural areas. Special attention is given to the role of the re-introduction of the Co-operative Medical Services (CMS) scheme in the sidelining of Tibetan medical practices in the rural areas. Part Two describes the work of private Tibetan medical practitioners and explores some of the social dynamics and ethical dilemmas that have arisen for them due to the commodifi cation of the offi cial system and the re-introduction of the CMS. Both parts focus on the situation in the Tsang or Shigatse region of the western and central TAR, hence enabling there to be useful comparisons with medical practices in the capital Lhasa, where most of the anthropological literature has focused on so far.

  • Nepal Bhutan Tibet Tour Packages
    Third Eye Travel (www.thirdeyetravel.com) Call to book a Trip 1-800-456-3393 CST#2060345-10 Page: 1 TIBET At Third Eye Travel, we are very enthusiastic about Tibet; for years we looked at the Himalayan peaks and could only dream of what lay beyond. Since Lhasa was first opened to tourists in 1981 we at Third Eye Travel have been actively running trips into Tibet in association with our local Tibetan partners in Lhasa. The road to Lhasa from Kathmandu was opened to tour groups in 1984 and whole new type of trip became possible . Tibet’s capital. Lhasa, the roof of the world, is not only as the earth’s highest ecosystem and one of its last remaining great wildernesses but also as the source of asia’s greatest rivers. It shares a 3482km international border with India, Bhutan, Nepal and Burma, and is bordered to the north and east by the Chinese provinces of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Sichuan and Yunnan. Tibetans call their homeland “BO” and BOPA are the people of Tibet. With the cultural revolution dying a well-deserved death, the true Tibet has made a small resurgence; though not as much as some of us would like to see. However, there has never been a better time to visit Tibet. Prohibitive prices of tours, a general feature in early 80’s is a thing of the past. Services are greatly improved. The Chinese government has spent a huge money on the infrastructure like road, bridges and recently bringing the train across the Tibetan Plateau which is one of the marvellous engineering feats.
