​Gyanganj (also called Siddhashram) is a legendary, mystical hermitage and spiritual realm in Hindu, Buddhist, and yogic traditions, said to lie hidden deep in the Himalayas, near Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. It’s known as the Land of Immortals, the abode of perfected beings (siddhas), ancient sages, and great yogis who live beyond ordinary time and perception.
