Significance of Shrikhand Mahadev

Shrikhand Mahadev, one of the most arduous pilgrimages in India, is known for Lord Shiva in Hindu Mythology. The Shrikhand Kailash is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva and his consort Mata Parvati and is sometimes confused with Kinner Kailash – one of the Panch Kailash. However, Kinner Kailash and Shrikhand Mahadev are two different yatras.
The 75 feet high Shrikhand Mahadev Peak on the top of an 18,570 feet mountain is considered to be a Swayambhu Shivalinga. The face of Lord Shiva is depicted by this gigantic Shivaling, complete with matted hair, eyes, and noes. Every year this holy peak of Lord Shiva is visited by many devotees of Lord Shiva. Even when the adjacent peaks are covered in snow, the Shrikhand Mahadev never gets covered with snow.
