Jai Shri Ram! Respected folks, I happen to visit the canyon too and saw the various peaks named after Hindu gods.However, if we noticed there are peaks named after major gods belonging to the various religions of the world(Zoroaster etc...).I asked the tourist guide and the explanation he gave me was that the patterns of these peaks resembled these faces and hence the British(owing to their Indian connection)gave them those names.However California being Kapilaranya seems to be quite an interesting concept.
