Muktinath is derived from two words “Mukti” and “Nath” which means “Salvation or Nirvana” and “God or Master” so it is also known as “Mukti Kshetra” or “Abode of Salvation”. Both Hindu and Buddhists come here to worship the Lord God Vishnu. Hindus call this temple as Mukti Kshetra which means Place of Liberation and Buddhists call it Chumig Gyatsa, which in Tibetan means ‘Hundred Waters’.

The Hindus also call it Muktichhetra(place for nirvana/salvation) and it is considered as one of the four religious sites.

The Shaligrams(Ammonite) found in Kaligandaki river during this tour is considered as the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to the Hindu folklore, Lord Vishnu transformed into Shaligram because of Brinda's curse. This Temple is always open yet, for the most part, individuals accumulate here in Rishitarpani, Ram Navami, and Bijay Dashami to praise these celebrations.

The temple itself is in Pagoda style which signifies the religious symbiosis between both Hindus and Buddhists. Besides the religious importance of Muktinath Temple, anyone would enjoy the backdrop of incredible starkness, you can sit and stare at the south, the snow-covered Annapurna range, or to the north, the Tibetan Plateau.
