Mount Kailash in China's Tibet Autonomous Region has received approximately 24,000 pilgrims since May of this year, with the pilgrimage season expected to continue through September. The influx represents an increase from the 20,750 devotees who visited during the previous year.
The pilgrimage to Mount Kailash, known as parikrama or circumambulation in Hindu tradition, resumed for Indian devotees after a five-year gap. The current year's visitor numbers indicate growing participation in the religious journey to the site, which holds significant spiritual importance in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other traditions.
The pilgrimage season's extension through September suggests sustained interest among devotees in completing the sacred circuit around the mountain, often referred to as the rooftop of the world due to its elevation in the Himalayas.
