Shambhala. A mythical kingdom, especially associated with the Kālacakra Tantra, whose precise geographical location is uncertain but popularly thought to be located somewhere to the north of Tibet, though there is some evidence that would place the land that was the source of the myth in western Orissa. With the rise of Islam in India, it was thought that the kingdom of Shambhala became invisible and will remain so until a future king leads forth his armies to vanquish the Muslims and inaugurate a new golden age.
