Envision a peaceful future as you cradle your little pint-sized peacemaker, Kailash. This moniker, rooted in the deep seas of tranquility, means "one who bestows peace." Drawing inspiration from the gentle, unmoving giant, Mount Kailash, in the Tibetan Plateau, it has religious ties to Hinduism as the revered "abode of Shiva." This sacred peak, whose name derives from the Sanskrit term kelāsa, meaning "crystal," is a significant landmark of peace linked with Hindu pilgrimages, as well as Buddhism and Jainism. As pure as crystal with a heart of gold, your little Kailash will be an easygoing and nurturing presence in your humble household.
