The article discusses Jalandhara in the views of Trans-Himalayan and Tibetan pilgrims. It states that 24 deities, known as viras, preside over 24 locations in India, which, in the esoteric rituals, are localized in the centres of the body. It says that Jalandhara is one of the inner sites which is located in the upper part of the head. It says that Tibetans apparently never made Jalandhara as their permanent location of practice.
