A sea of devotees complete parikrama at the rooftop of the world
Approximately 24,000 pilgrims have completed the sacred parikrama at Mount Kailash since the current season began in May. This figure marks a significant increase compared to the 20,750 devotees recorded during the same period last year.
Nearly 24,000 devotees have traveled to Mount Kailash in China’s Tibet Autonomous Region since May this year to perform the traditional circumambulation. The pilgrimage season is scheduled to remain open until September, allowing for further participation from international and local visitors.
Current statistics show a notable rise in arrival numbers compared to the previous year, which saw 20,750 pilgrims. The 2023 season was particularly significant as it marked the reopening of the site for Indian devotees following a five-year hiatus caused by various travel restrictions.
Authorities have noted the steady flow of people to the high-altitude site, often referred to as the 'rooftop of the world.' The logistical arrangements continue to support the influx of travelers seeking to complete the spiritual trek around the sacred peak. Source: Excerpt provided.
