The Basis of the Four Faces of Mt Kailash a Sacral Landscape

5th International Conference on the Phenomenon of the Holy Mt. Kailash
“Compilation of Traditional and New Aspects of Mt. Kailash and Surrounding Pilgrimage Sites”, University of Hamburg, March 25-27, 2022
During the expeditions undertaken in 2005-2019, we developed the
trekking routes to the four faces of Mt. Kailash and performed the so-called
Kora of Kailash’s Faces Touching and the Kora of Confluence of Elements,
described in this report. The analysis of high-resolution satellite images of
this region allowed us to study the shape, orientation and size of the faces
of this mountain. The horizontal sections of Mt. Kailash at different heights
allowed us to determine the cross-sectional shape of this rock formation.
The shape of Kailash's faces has a symbolic relationship with the Elements:
the eastern face, triangular in shape, is associated with the Element of Fire;
the western concave face relates to the Element of Air; the southern
convex face, rounded in shape, is associated with the Element of Water;
and the northern egg-shaped face relates to the Element of Ether. The
upper part of the mountain, which has a horizontal square section, is
associated with the Element of Earth. We studied the features of the relief
elements of the valleys and their mountain ranges adjacent to Mt. Kailash
and explored some man-made and natural objects: Atma Lingam and the
sacred river Sailodha that takes its origin here; Mount Nandi (Tib. "Neten
Yelakzung") that is similar in shape to some Indian and Russian temples;
the Saptorishi niche with 13 stupas (Tib. "Serdung Chuksum"), and a
number of other objects.

Even if we visit Kailayamalai directly, we will not be able to go so close with their description news and Kailayamalai look. It must be God's grace to watch this video. Thank you so much for yours tireless work .

Dear Sir, Namaskar, In this video at 11 mins. 13 secs. it is written, "The stone cross on the west crest of the Inner kora valley", but sir, for me it is looking like a "SHIVA LINGA". sir, usually in a cross the lower part of vertical object will be more in height than the upper part, but here the lower part is looking tiny than upper part, please watch it keenly once again, it may change your view/opinion on it...
Sir, we are very very grateful to you for your sincere research and excellent presentations on Holy Mt Kailash...
With Regards...

which south Indian temple did you find the photographs of faces of kailash with with a description of their correspondence to elements? were these photographs or reliefs and carvings? The horizontal sections of Mt. Kailash at different heights allowed us to determine the cross-sectional shape of this rock formation, what exactly do you mean by that ? please answer . I have some information too that i feel you have missed i will gladly pass it on to you .

We visited the Indian temple with a photo of the Faces of Kailas with inscriptions on them of the corresponding elements about 20 years ago. And unfortunately, we will not remember the name of the temple now. More detailed information about the shape of horizontal sections of Kailas at various heights can be viewed on our website using the Google translator from Russian to English www.mt-kailash.ru/bez-rubriki/osobennosti-formyi-stroeniya-i-razmerov-g-kaylas-chast-2.html
