What is "shilla"

Shilla may refer to:

Shilla is a mountain peak close to Spiti Valley, part of the Himalaya mountains. Its peak is above sea level. It is in Himachal Pradesh in Northern India.

This rarely seen Shilla peak on the divide between Lingti and Shilla Nullah/nala became so famous that any mention of Spiti led to the memory of it and vice versa as Shilla held a dubious altitude record for 47 years in the trans-Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh in India.

Nomenclature: Shilla: Shi = death. Shi-la = range or peak death. Other meanings locally offered were 'a place of monastery' or 'a gateway to heaven’.

A shilla is a male fraternity in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries.
