In the far

mountain in Asia venerated by Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and the
ancient Bon Po religion of Tibet and is considered the centre
of the universe & the most holy place in the world for both
Hindus and Buddhists. For many centuries Tibetan and Indian
pilgrims have been making the 53km circuit or kora, of the
mountain which supposedly wipes the sins of a lifetime,
enticement enough. This circumambulation is clockwise for
Buddhists and Hindus and anti-clockwise for bon followers.
