Muktinath is a holy place for the Hindus & Tibetan Buddhists at 3750m (12,300ft) at the famous Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas of Nepal. It’s an excellent example of how 2 religions share the same sacred site with mutual support and respect. If you are looking for a Muktinath Darshan tour in your upcoming vacation, please keep reading this post.
The Pagoda-style Muktinath Temple is a sign of the spiritual symbol between both Buddhists and Hindus. Hindu assumes that God Vishnu got salvation from the curse of Brinda (wife of Jalandhar) here. Hence, he’s worshiped as Muktinath (the god of salvation). The sacred temple which is believed to have built on its own, is one of the 8 such temples (the others encompass Srirangam, Sri Mushnam, Tirupati, Naimisaranyam, Thottadri, Pushkaram and Badrinath). It’s also 1 of 108 Vaishnava temples. Here in the early nineteenth century the Hindus sanctified a Vishnu shrine & named as Muktinath – Lord of Liberation. Against a backdrop of incredible starkness you can sit and stare to the south the snow covered Annapurna range, or to the north the Tibetan upland.
Major attractions of a Muktinath jeep tour:
• Mukti Kunda – 2 sacred water ponds called as "Laxmi Saraswoti Kunda" placed in façade of shrine. Taking a dip here is said to clean away your wrongdoing.
• Jwala Mai Temple – Persistently burning sacred flame from rock placed within Dhola Mebar Gompa, is only 5 minute walking distance, positioned on the south province of the shrine.
• Mukti Dhara: 108 water spouts (bull head shape) in the back yard of this shrine where sacred water (chill) from Gandaki River flows persistently. Taking deep under all these 108 Muktidhara is said to bring freedom.
• Mharme Lha Khang Gompa: Monastery placed in the north area of the shrine is devoted to Guru Rimpoche also recognized as Padmasambhava.
• Shaligram: Remains of the Jurassic park era that is discovered in Kali Gandaki River. This black stone is the sign of lord Vishnu & kept in prayer room in the home.
