Magical Muktinath Yatra
The Muktinath temple sits at an altitude of 3,710m (12,172 feet) at the Thorong La mountain pass base in the Mustang district. Muktinath is a widely recognized sacred spot for Hindus and Buddhists.
Mukti Kshetra, which means "place of salvation" in Hinduism, is one of Nepal's oldest temples dedicated to the God Vishnu and the Vaishnava tradition. The temple is one of the eight sacred locations known as Svayam Vyakta Kshetras (the other seven being Srirangam, Srimushnam, Tirupati, Naimisharanya, Totadri, Pushkar, and Badrinath), as well as one of Lord Vishnu's 108 Divya Desam, or holy places of devotion. It is also one of the 51 Shakti Pitha goddess locations.
The temple is tiny, with a human-sized golden statue of Vishnu as Shri Mukti Narayana within. Aside from Mukti Narayana, the temple also has bronze representations of Bhoodevi (the Earth-goddess version of Lakshmi), the goddesses Saraswati and Janaki (Sita), Garuda (Vishnu's steed), Lava-Kusa (Rama and Sita's kids), and the Sapta Rishis (Seven Sages created by Lord Brahma). Elderly Buddhist monks staffs the temple, and Buddhist nuns lead devotion.
A semi-circular wall behind the temple has 108 stone faucets at seven feet. The faucets are around one foot apart, and all have the form of a bull's head. The cold water from the Kali Gandaki river flows through the tap, and the brave pilgrims take a round beneath the faucets.
Buddhists refer to Muktinath as Chumming Gyatsa, which translates as "Hundred Waters" in Tibetan. According to Tibetan Buddhism, Chumig Gyatsa is a holy site of the Dakinis deities known as Sky Dancers and one of the 24 famous Tantric sites. According to Tibetan Buddhist legend, Guru Rimpoche, better known as Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism, meditated here on his trip to Tibet.
