Trimūrti

In Hinduism, the Trimūrti (Devanagari : त्रिमूर्ति), three forms in Sanskrit, is the manifested part of the supreme deity who is to preside over the different states of the universe. Historically, the Trimurti follows the Vedic trinity consisting of Agni, Vâyu and Sûrya, the three aspects of the sacrificial Fire .

The Trimurti is represented either by the gods Brahmâ, Vishnu and Shiva seated or standing side by side, or by the heads of this three gods united into one body. You can also find their partner, their wife, symbolizing the energy and the movement, while they represent the "raw material", the inertia. So Lakshmi completes Vishnu (the prosperity ,Lakshmi, is dependent on the preservation ), this couple is complemented by the one of Shakti (Parvati , Kali , or Durga) and Shiva (the feminine energy supplementing the male subject), and finally by the couple of Saraswati (knowledge, Saraswati, being necessary to the creation) and Brahmâ.

Kailash

Mount Kailash is actually the Sahasra Chakra in our body, which is center of Supreme Consciousness (SHIVA). When Kundalini reaches there She meets Shiva.
The Physical counterpart is Mount Kailash, where the energy of Shiva is centered in material earth.
According to Hindu mythology, Shiva, the god of destruction and regeneration, resides at the summit of a legendary mountain named Kailāśā. Mount Kailāśā is regarded in many sects of Hinduism as Paradise, the ultimate destination of souls and the spiritual center of the world.
According to a description in the Puranas, Mount Kailash's four faces are made of crystal, ruby, gold, and lapis lazuli; it is the pillar of the world; rises 84,000 leagues high; is the center of the world mandala; and is located at the heart of six mountain ranges symbolizing a lotus. From it flow four rivers, which stretch to the four quarters of the world and divide the world into four regions.
This legendary mountain has long been identified with the striking peak in the Himalayas that now bears its name. Shiva is therefore believed to dwell at its summit. Some traditions say the mountain is Shiva's linga, while Lake Manasarowar is the yoni of his consort.
The importance of this holy mountain in Hinduism is reflected, among other places, at the famous Ellora Caves in India, where the largest and most important rock-carved temple is dedicated to Mount Kailash.
