Here are a few interesting facts about the revered mountain.
Mystery 1: Mansarovar Lake
On the southeast of Mount Kailash is a beautiful, circular lake called Mansarovar the holy lake. According to Hindu Mythology, Mansarovar Lake is an abode of purity. The word “Mansarovar” originates from Sanskrit, and is a combination of two words – manas (mind) and sarovar (lake). This lake has the legend that the lake’s image was first incepted in the mind of Brahma before creating it on earth.
Mansarovar Lake is popular for its exceptional beauty; the color of this fresh water lake changes from clear blue around the shores to emerald green at the centre. And, the lake looks magical under the moonlit sky. The devotees who are on a sojourn to Kailash Mansarovar make sure to take a holy dip and drink the holy water to attain spiritual peace.
Mystery 2: Four Faces
The four faces of Mount Kailash are created from lapis lazuli, ruby, crystal, and gold.
Mystery 3: Geographical Location  
Mount Kailash is the axis of the Earth and maintains the atmosphere to keep all living beings alive. What more, its location is in synchronization with all other ancient monuments in the world and the Earth’s poles. It is located at an exact distance of 6666 kilometers from the monument of Stonehenge.
Mystery 4: Time Travels Fast   
Around the holy Mount Kailash time travels quickly, which is not witnessed anywhere in the world. Pilgrims have reported quick hair and nails growth within 12 hours, which equals to two weeks under normal conditions.
Mystery 5: Twin Lakes
This pious mountain has two lakes, namely Mansarovar or the God Lake and Rakshas Tal or the Devil Lake. These lie next to each other, only divided by a thin isthmus of the mountains, as if indicating the difference between Good and Bad.
Mystery 6: Swastika
It seems the Sun God wishes to pay his homage to Lord Shiva every day. As the sun sets, the shadow falling on the rocks draws a huge swastika.
Mystery 7: Changes Position
Although people have so far not been successful in climbing the revered Mount Kailash, yet the mountain strangely changes the target location to those who want to climb it. Subsequently, numerous expeditions have failed to climb its summit, as Mount Kailash changes the tracks position in the opposite direction.
Come; visit the abode of the Gods and receive his blessings!

The ten-page letter contained about 120 statements of theorems on infinite series, improper integrals, continued fractions, and number theory (Here is a .dvi file with a sample of these results). Every prominent mathematician gets letters from cranks, and at first glance Hardy no doubt put this letter in that class. But something about the formulas made him take a second look, and show it to his collaborator J. E. Littlewood. After a few hours, they concluded that the results "must be true because, if they were not true, no one would have had the imagination to invent them".
