"North of Kulu, the peaks of the main chain of the Himalayas rise. Behind them lies the road to Lahul and Ladakh, and the main white giant is called Guru-Guri Dhar – The Way of the Teacher of Teachers."

N.K. Roerich. "The Gods of Kuluta".

When, at the end of the Central Asian expedition, the Roerichs settled in the Kulu Valley, from the windows of his new house they saw a snow-white double-peaked summit, which somehow reminded them "the queen of Altai" – Belukha. Between themselves they called it Mount M, in honor of their spiritual Teacher. However, the top has several local names. So, it is dedicated to the main deity of Lahul – the bloodthirsty Gepang, to whom people sacrificed goats. However, the famous Buddhist teacher Padmasambhava, who fought with the local animistic religion lung-pe-chkhoi, tried to bring to naught the blood sacrifices, replacing them with offerings of clay and dough, as well as flowers, water and fruit. But people still sometimes bring goats to a temple dedicated to Gepang...

It is possible that the name Guru-Guri Dhar was given to the snow-covered giant in honor of Padmasambhava, who passed here from Tibet to India and back, having restored the religion of Buddha in these lands.
