New Delhi, September 7: Congress President Rahul Gandhi has been tweeting pictures and videos from his Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. On Friday, he tweeted a video of an enchanting landscape and captioned it "Shiva is the universe". Rahul Gandhi left for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra on August 31 with a wish that he had made.

Earlier this week, too, Gandhi posted images of the Mansarovar lake and Kailash mountain, saying there was no hatred at the holy place. “The waters of lake Mansarovar are so gentle, tranquil and calm. They give everything and lose nothing. Anyone can drink from them. There is no hatred here. This is why we worship these waters in India,” the Congress leader tweeted. He attached pictures of the Mansarovar lake and Kailash mountain with the tweet. BJP's Tarun Vijay Backed Rahul Gandhi's Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, Later Deleted Tweet: Cong

The arduous pilgrimage to Mount Kailash, which is considered the abode of Lord Shiva in Hindu mythology and is in the Tibetan Himalayas, is organised every year between June and September.

The Congress President is undertaking the yatra in accordance with a wish he expressed in April when the aircraft carrying him plunged hundreds of feet during the campaign for the Karnataka polls.

On April 26, the plane carrying Gandhi and some others from Delhi to Hubballi airport in Karnataka developed a technical problem and tilted heavily on the left side. The plane dipped steeply with violent shuddering, but soon recovered and landed safely. Three days later, on April 29, Gandhi announced during a rally that he wanted to undertake the pilgrimage.
