Vedic Group Puja

Hawan Puja at Kailash Mansarovar

"Kailash is not a temple built by human hands. It is the home Shiva chose for himself. The mountain has never been climbed, out of pure reverence, and pilgrims circle it instead in the sacred kora. At its feet lies Mansarovar, the lake born, tradition says, from the mind of Brahma himself. The shastras hold that the devtas descend to bathe in its waters at Brahma Muhurta, before dawn. A hawan performed on this ground is the rarest fire offering a devotee can make. Most devotees will never reach this altitude in their lifetime. This group hawan carries their names there."
