In many ways it is the most intense face but very few people go to the South Face. It is just a South Indian prejudice that we like the South Face and I think it is the most beautiful face! It is definitely the whitest face because it is very snowy there. It is a little inappropriate to distinguish or to discriminate between one face of Kailash and the other, but the South Face is dear to us because Agastya Muni merged into the South Face.

They say his drum was dragging behind him as he slid down and it left a furrow on the mountain all the way down. Ravana went sliding down the South Face of Kailash. Then finally, Parvati managed to bring him out of being enthralled, and when Ravana reached the peak, Shiva just pushed him off with his feet. She said, “This man is coming all the way up!” But Shiva was too engrossed in the music and poetry. There is space only for two people on top! So Parvati tried to bring Shiva out of his musical rapture. When Ravana was almost on top, and with Shiva still engrossed in this music, Parvati saw this man climbing up. As he sang, slowly, Ravana started climbing Kailash from its Southern Face. Shiva was so pleased and enamored listening to this music. He had a drum which he used to set the beat and composed 1008 verses extempore, which is called the Shiva Tandava Stotram. He came to Kailash all the way from down south and began to sing Shiva’s praises. Ravana was a fierce devotee of Shiva and there are many stories about them.
