Gekhö (Ge-khod), often invoked as Walchen Gekhö, 'Great dBal Gekhö', is the ancient tutelary god of the kingdom of Zhang-zhung in western Tibet, whose abode is the sacred mountain Tise (Kailash). In the Bön religion he became a major wrathful meditational deity presiding over a cycle of three hundred and sixty attendant gods, and his cult preserves some of the oldest strata of pre-Buddhist Tibetan religion documented by Samten Karmay and John Vincent Bellezza.
