This astounding festival is also known as the Festival for Releasing Living Things, and during this festival, Tibetan people do not eat meat and kill any living things in the fourth month of the Tibetan year in order to concentrate their efforts on worshipping.

Buddhists, Hindus, and Bonpo faithful consider Mt. Kailash as their sacred land. The mountain is known as the throne of "Shiva", a powerful God in Hindu mythology. Buddhists consider it as Kang Rinpoche, the precious Snow Mountain. A devotee of Jain religion considers the peak as Mount Ashtpada. Rishabanatha, the founder of Jain faith, believed that he gained spiritual liberation on the summit of Mt. Kailash. Bon po, pre Buddhist religion in Tibet believes that this is the Nine storey Swastika Mountain that leads to heaven.
The pilgrims' walk and prostate around the mountain path of 55km Kailash Parbat known to them as Meru in ice and stone. There is a strong belief among Hindus and Buddhists that a single walk around the holy mountain would wash away all the sins of a lifetime.
