Muktinath



Muktinath is the most famous religious place in hindu and buddhist. this area is a sacred place for both Hindus and Tibetan Buddhists at 3750 meters at the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas of Nepal. It is a great example of how two religions can share the same holy spot with mutual respect and support.There are 108 tap they are most important for Hindu people they believe if they bath in the tap they will be free from there false.another thing we can got the Shalagrama. This is the symbol of god.
It is difficult to understand the exact status of Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa within Hinduism. There is no debate about the Gandaki River. However some Hindu schools have doubts regarding the status of Muktinath-Chumig Gyatsa as a Hindu pilgrimage site and have the opinion that the Celestial Abode of Vishnu connected to the Gandaki River is the source Shalagrama of the Gandaki or a cave near to it. One of the reasons for their opinion is that contradictory to other Hindu pilgrimages sites connected to a holy river, one has to walk away from the holy Gandaki River for several hours to reach the site. Another reason is that 'Muktinath' as such is not mentioned in Hindu scriptures like the Mahabharata and the Puranas. The name 'Muktikshetra' does appear in the Varahapurana but as the area near the Gandaki River and not as a spot in the mountains.Muktinath Lama pointed out the bottom line though, when he was asked what his opinion is in the very matter "Look at the many, many Hindu pilgrims visiting Muktinath; no doubt this is a pilgrimage place for Hindus."
