      Background of Muktinath:

      Muktinath means a place of Nirvana! There is a temple of Muktinath, which is dedicated to lord Vishnu and some Buddhist monasteries nearby. The place of Muktinath is a secret place for Hinduism and Buddhism. There are 108 spring waterspouts that run forever and surround the Muktinath temple.


      Many pilgrims from India and Nepal visit this place to pay homage to Muktinath, especially in September. Itโ€™s believed that all the sorrows are relieved when you bathe in 108 waterspouts and pay respect to the temple of Muktinath. Another highlight or attraction near the temple is the Jwala Mai temple; there is an eternal flame lit up by natural gas just inside the temple).
