Gaurishankar (also Gauri Sankar or Gauri Shankar; Nepali: गौरीशंकर; Sherpa: Jomo Tseringma), a mountain in the Nepal Himalayas, is the second highest peak of the Rolwaling Himal, behind Melungtse (7,181 m). The name comes from the Hindu goddess Gauri, a manifestation of Parvati, and her consort Shankar, denoting the sacred regard it is afforded by the people of Nepal. The Sherpas name the mountain as Jomo Tseringma.[3] The Nepal Standard Time (GMT+05:45) is based on the meridian of this mountain peak.[4]
