Muktinath Temple can be found in the Mustang District of Nepal within the Annapurna Conservation Area, situated at an elevation of 3710 meters and approximately 22 km North-East of Jomsom. This revered site is commonly referred to as “Mukti Dham” by Hindus, meaning “place of liberation”, and as “Chumig Gyatsa” by Buddhists, translating to “hundred waters”. For Hindus, Muktinath Temple is considered a “Mukti Kshetra”, a sacred location where people attain Moksha or liberation, while Buddhists recognize the deity as one of the Bodhisattvas. It is believed that Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, who founded Tibetan Buddhism, meditated at the site en route to Tibet. The name “Muktinath” is a combination of “Mukti”, which means “Salvation or Nirvana”, and “Nath”, which means “God or Master”. This Sanskrit name holds great significance for spiritual people across the South Asian sub-continent and carries strong emotional connotations for devout Hindus.
