Manasa Shakti Peeth, Tibet
Manasa Shakti peeth is Located at Tibet. This Shakti peeth is placed just beside the most pure and sacred water body specifically known as Lake Manas sarovar. Here, Goddess Mansa (form of Goddess Shakti) and Lord Amar (form of Lord Shiva) comes subjective of Mansa Shakti Peeth. In Hindu mythology, right hand of Sati fell in Shakti peeth Manasa.
Since the idol of Devi have been provided with a different name at various shakti peeth, the name provided to this particular idol of devi is known as Dakshayani (Durga). Also the name given to Lord Shiva over here is known as Amar (Immortal). This is one of the pure and religious spot of the whole earth where people can get all their desires fulfilled. No temple or deity is there only a big boulder is lying over there which is being worshipped.
It is mentioned in the ancient scriptures that anyone who takes a dip in the holy Mansarovar Lake and circumambulates the peak, gets absolved of his or her sins for generations and attain salvation. The Kailash Manasarovar Lake is believed to have healing powers. Kailash Manasarovar Lake is believed to be the abode of the Hamsa or the Swan of Lord Brahma, one of the holy Trinity. The Lake is also considered to be one of the fifty-one Shakti Peethas where the Right hand of Goddess Sati fell to Earth after the Daksha Yagna episode of Hindu mythology.
The Goddess is worshiped here as Dakshayini. The site is extremely sacred to the Shakta sect of Hinduism. In the Vishnu Purana, a description of Mount Kailash states that the four sides of the peak are made up of Crystal, Ruby, Gold and Lapis-Lazuli (deep blue semi-precious antique stones).
The Mount Kailash is also known as the Axis Mundi of the World. This means that the Mount provides the connection between the physical world and the spiritual world. It is the axis around which the world has been created by the Gods. The visit to Mount Kailash peak is considered extremely sacred as it is situated near the sources of some of the longest and the holiest rivers that flow through Asia.
These rivers are Indus, Sutlej, Brahmaputra, and Apart from being considered as extremely sacred by Hindus as the abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, the peak has significance in other religions too.
During the journey to Mount Kailash, one can also visit other holy peaks like Ravana Parvat, Hanuman Parvat, Padmasambhava, Manjushri, Vajradhara, Avalokiteshwara, Jambeyang, Shavari, and Norseng. These peaks are extremely sacred for the Buddhists.
The famed Gauri Kund or the Parvati Sarovar is located en route to Mount Kailash. This is believed to be the lake where Goddess Parvati gave birth to Lord Ganesha and made him stand as a guard while she was taking a bath. Lord Ganesha stopped Lord Shiva from meeting Parvati and in a fit of rage, Lord Shiva beheaded Ganesha. Distraught Parvati requested Lord Shiva to forgive Ganesha and bring him back to life. Lord Shiva replaced Ganesha’s head with the head of a nearby elephant and since then, Ganesha came to be known as the “Elephant headed God”.
A limited number of Indian pilgrims are allowed to visit the Kailash Manasarovar every year.
They are monitored by the Indian and the Chinese Governments. There are two routes to reach Mount Kailash from the Indian side.
They are mentioned as below:
Route 1: The Lipulekh Pass Route The Yatra begins with a 3-4 day stay at Delhi. The tentative duration for the yatra would be 25 days with a cost of about 1.6 lakh per person.
Route 2: The Nathu La Pass Route The Yatra begins with a 3-4 day stay at Delhi. The duration of the yatra would be 23 days with the cost of 2 lakhs per person.
Apart from the Government conducted travel package, one can also book a private package that reaches Mount Kailash via Kathmandu, Nepal. This journey takes only 16-18 days to complete and is covered in jeeps. However, the cost, as well as safety, remains an issue as the packages are privately operated and do not come under the Government preview.
The path around Mount Kailash is 52 km long. The circumambulation is made in the clockwise direction by the Hindus and the Buddhists while in an anti-clockwise direction by the Jain and the Bon followers.

This Shakthi Peeth located behind the most pure and sacred water body of the Lake Manas Sarovar is truly a calm and a place that can relax your mind, body and soul.A lot of my friends who have been here before told me that this is one of the most pure and religious spot where in people do get their wishes fulfilled. They refer to the idol of Lord Devi here as Dakshyani and Lord Shiva is known as Amar.It was indeed a refreshing experience.
Calm and serene is the first thing that comes to my mind as soon as i think of this temple. We had such a refreshing experience after being there. it is believed that the right hand goddess Sati fell there . I suggest that this is one such place you must visit atleast once in a life time.
A very calm , divine and a serene place. Really loved it.
A beautiful temple located behind the Lake Sarovar is such a pleasant sight. We had a great time here. It was not too crowded and we enjoyed every bit of it. The deity looked so gracious and was so well decorated.
Heaven on earth is what I could think of when I visited this temple and place. The temple was kept clean and so well maintained.
Hi… I have been to Kailash manasarovar 11 times now. And I have done the parikrama of manasarovar too all the times. I read the comments above that the temple was kept clean, beautiful temple, idol was well decorated etc. There is no temple located anywhere around manasarovar as far as my knowledge goes. I have heard that manas is a Shakti Peeth. But there is no temple. Only the stones lying around the lake are considered sacred. I am going again this year. If anyone can share the pic of the temple or the idol, it would help me. thanks in advance
