Muktinath Temple in the Himalayas of Nepal.
It is one of the great pilgrimage sites for both Hindus and Buddhists from all over the world. The temple is an epitome of the spiritual and emotional cleansing site for the devotees of Muktinath.
This holy temple stands on the lap of the remote Muktinath Valley at an elevation of 3,710 meters above the sea level. This sacred temple is one of 108 Divya Desam. Vaishnav people (followers of Vishnu in Hinduism) highly respect this holy place. Generally, there are eight holy sites knowns as Swayam Vyakta or Divya Kshetra of deity Bishnu. Muktinath is one of them.
The term Muktinath is derived from the Sanskrit word “Mukti” and “Nath” where Mukti refers to “Salvation or Moksha” while Nath stands for “God or Master”. Hence, it holds great significance for all spiritual people in the south Asian countries.
There is a belief that after completing pilgrimage of four special religious sites, Chardham Yatra of India, the pilgrims must visit Muktinath Temple once.
Despite it lies in one of the remote regions in Nepal, thousands of pilgrims from a different corner of the world visit this place. Likewise, it stands at the higher elevation, the fascinating mountain scenery, and surrounding landscapes attract thousands of trekkers.
This temple is open throughout the year, but during Ram Navami, Vijayadashami, and Rishi Tarpani thousands of pilgrims visit here to celebrate the festival.
The main temple of Muktinath is a pagoda-style dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Whereas, Buddhists worship Vishnu as Avalokiteshvara. The temple consists of a metal statue of Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, Saraswati, Janaki, Garuda, Lava-Kush, and Sapta Rishis.
It is a religious place which holds the faith of two different religions in the same shrine. It is a commonplace of worship for both the Buddhist and Hindu communities. Thus, this makes the Muktinath temple exceptional as people from two religions with different beliefs and rituals come together under one roof.
Hidden History of Muktinath Temple.
Muktinath is one of the most ancient temples of Lord Vishnu. According to Hindu mythology, there was a huge battle between Lord Shiva and Jalandhar (powerful king of demons). The demon was evil-minded, he crossed the limit and attack Kailash to achieve Parvati (wife of Lord Shiva).
Then Jalandhar used his power and change himself to duplicate Shiva. Since Parvati has spiritual power she easily notices the reality and quickly called Shiva for help. Soon after the battle started between them, but he (Jalandhar) was quite safe because of her wife’s faithfulness.
Later other gods decide to use a little trick to destroy a massive evil. In this, Lord Vishnu utilize his power and turn into duplicate Jalandhar and present himself to Vrinda. She (Vrinda) failed to notice and behaved like her husband. After this, she loses her devotion and Lord Shiva slaughter Jalandhar.
At last, Vrinda learns the truth and she curses Lord Vishnu to spend the rest of life as Shila (stone). Thus, after that Lord Vishnu takes birth as Shaligram in the Muktinath area. After giving a curse, Vrinda destroys herself and from her ashes, Tulsi Plant was born.
Lord Vishnu respect and love Vrinda more than Lord Laxmi, as he was really impressed by her faithfulness. Therefore, while worshiping the Shaligram it is necessary to have a Tulsi leaf.
And there are still more other legends related to Muktinath Temple.
