Kinnaur Kailash has a height of 4800 meters and is considered sacred by both Hindu and Buddhist Kinnauris. The Kinnaur Kailash Range borders the district of Kinnaur in the south and is dominated by Jorkanden (elevation- 6473m) peaks.
According to Hindu Epics this is a very sacred place in the Indian Himalayas as it is associated with Prabhu Shiva and Mata Parvati. A natural pond/Kund near Kinnar Kailash peak, known as Parvati Kund, is considered to be a creation of Goddess Parvati. She worshipped here for a long time. It is also the meeting place for Shiva and Parvati .
Kinnaur holds utmost religious significance for ardent devotees of Lord Shiva because it is home to a 79-foot-tall shivalinga. On a clear day, the Shivlingam can be seen, which changes color during the day.
