Muktinath Temple
An apt illustration of the mutual symbiosis between Buddhism and Hinduism, the holy shrine Muktinath Temple accompanied with the meaning āGod of Salvationā is continually holding a high significance for the divinity seekers.
The Muktinath Temple is situated at an elevation of 3,610 meters (11,872 feet) at the Thorong La mountain passās district and is worldly prominent as a massively venerated place for both the Hindus and the Buddhists. While being present here, one shall witness a semi-circular shaped wall incorporating 108 stone faucets at an altitude of approximately 7 ft. situated just behind the temple. These faucets resemble the head of a bull and are exactly the same shape as the others with a distance of 1 ft. between them. The mouths of these bulls pave the way for drawing the ice-cold water of the Kali Gantaki River. Taking the bath with this water has been proved as an act of attaining the utmost salvation. Ardent followers from all over the world are intending to visit the Muktinath Temple with the sole intention of attaining the Nirvana.
