Significance of Muktinath Temple

1.      For Hindus: Muktinath is one of the 108 Divya Desams, or holy abodes of Lord Vishnu, revered in the Divya Prabandha, an early medieval Tamil canon of the Alvar saints. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who is worshipped here in the form of a stone idol and is believed to grant liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Hindu pilgrims believe that taking a bath in the temple's 108 water spouts purifies one's soul and washes away sins.

2.    For Buddhists: Muktinath is equally significant for Buddhists, who call it "Chumig Gyatsa," meaning "Hundred Waters." Buddhists consider it a place blessed by Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, who introduced Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet. The natural flames of the temple's eternal flame, created by natural gas under the earth, are also a symbol of the element of fire revered in Buddhism.

Best Time to Visit
