The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is set to resume, with China welcoming the return of Indian pilgrims and calling it a positive step for bilateral relations. Beijing said it would facilitate travel for around 1,000 Indian devotees as applications officially open for the sacred pilgrimage. The resumption of the yatra, seen as spiritually significant for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers, also signals a possible easing of tensions between the two neighboring nations.
