Mount Kailash, 'Abode' Of Lord Shiva, To Be Open For Devotees From India In September
Mount Kailash, believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva, is set to be open for devotees from September this year from the Indian territory.
Mount Kailash, believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva, is set to be open for devotees from September this year from the Indian territory. According to the officials, Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has started the work on cutting the road from KMVN Huts in Nabhidhang in Pithoragarh district to Lipulekh pass on the India-China border, which will be completed by September, as reported by the news agency PTI.
Vimal Goswami, Chief Engineer of BRO's Diamond Project, said, "We have started the work of cutting the road from KMVN Huts to Lipulekh Pass in Nabhidhang, about six and a half kilometers long," as quoted by PTI. After the completion of the road, 'Kailash View Point' will be ready along the road.
The responsibility of developing ‘Kailash View Point’ has been given to Hirak Project by the government. Goswami stated that a lot of road-cutting work had been done and if the weather is favourable, it will be finished by September.
The Kailash-Mansarovar yatra through the Lipulekh Pass, postponed due to the Covid pandemic, has not resumed. Such a long stall has contributed to the efforts of the Indian government in forging an alternative path for the devotees to access Mount Kailash.
