The River of the Lion Mouth to the North, the River of the Horse Mouth to the east, the River of the Peacock Mouth to the south and the River of the Elephant Mouth to the West. Strangely enough, four major rivers do indeed originate near Kailash, the Indus, the YarlungTsangpo (Brahmaputra), the Karnali and the Sutlej.

On the top live their most revered God, Shiva, and his consort Parvati.
