It is far less accessible and involves a more difficult route than the other faces, and only certain type of people go there. 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. If you look at the South Face, you will see a wedge-like scar in the center going straight down. 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, вЂњThis man is coming all the way up!вЂќ 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 enamoured 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 вЂ“ I want you to just imagine walking all the way вЂ“ and began to sing ShivaвЂ™s praises. A devotee shouldnвЂ™t become great, but he was a great devotee. Sadhguru: Ravana was a fierce devotee of Shiva and there are many stories about them. Get to know how it came into being, the verses (lyrics) and their meaning. The Shiva Tandava Stotram was written by Ravana, the asura King and devotee of Shiva.
