Kinner Kailash is a mountain in the Kinner district of the Indian state Himachal Pradesh.The Kinnerr Kailash has a hight of 6500 meters and is considered as scared by both Hindu and Buddhist Kinneries.This mountain sometimes confused with the mountain Kailash in Tibet .The Kinner Kailash Range borders the district of Kinner in the south and is dominated Kinaur Kailash (elevation 6349 m ) and Jorkanden peaks.As per legend ,this shrine existed since the time of Bhasmasur, the deadly Asur (deman) who received a boon from the deity Lord Shiva after great penance,which entailed that any persons head touched by him will be turned into ashesh ( bhasma) . Upon receiving this gift, he tried to turn Lord Shiva into ashes,as he wished to posses Parbati,which would only be possible upon his death. Lord Shiva stayed hiding ,changing locations often and then finally came to Kinneur Kailash. He recided here for sometimes meditating Lord Vishnu eventually helped him to slay the Asur,appearing to him as a woman and getting him to place his hand upon his own head,thereby killing Bhasmasur.
