“Muktinath Temple” in Nepal has been a site of great spiritual importance for both Hindus and Buddhists. Also known as “Muktishetra”, the place of salvation, thousands of pilgrims from around the world visit this place for spiritual enlightenment & inner awakening.
The place is called Muktinath because it is believed that Lord Vishnu Murthi, Goddess Sri Devi, and Bhoo Devi gave Jeevan Mukthi here. Muktinath is one of the eight holy sites famous for worshiping Lord Vishnu; Swayambhu Kshetras or Divya Kshetra.

The word "Mukti" and "Nath," which together make up the term "Muktinath" (or “Mukthinath”), are Sanskrit terms that denote “Salvation” and “God” respectively.

Apart from Muktinath seven other sites are a part of Svayam Vyakta Kshetras namely, Badrinath, Pushkar, Naimisharanya, Tirupati, Srirangam, Srimushnam, and Thotadri. The water is distributed via 108 bull faces in the Outside Courtyard (Prakaram).

The hallowed Pushkarini waters (Temple Tanks) from the 108 Sri Vaishnava Divya Desams, where devotees take their sacred dip even in below-freezing temperatures, are represented by the 108 pipes of sacred water that run throughout the temple complex.
