प्रश्न
What did Tenzing and Edmund Hillary gift to the Gods of lofty Summit? How did they do it?
उत्तर
A hole was made in the ice where Tenzing placed reverentially a bar of chocolate, a packet of biscuits, and a handful of lollies. As Hillary remembered that his team head Col. Hunt had requested to place a crucifix after reaching the peak. So, he also made a hole in the snow and placed the crucifix beside Tenzing’s gift to the Gods. Devout Buddhists believed that at least a small token of gift should be left with Gods who have their homes in that lofty Everest.
