Places To Visit In Muktinath Temple:
Muktinath Kunda
There are two Kundas (water ponds) in front of Muktinath temple. It is used for holy dips, and it is believed that the water has the power to wash negative karma away.
Jwala Mai Temple:
Jwala Mai Temple is a Tibetan-style temple located just below Muktinath Temple. The water that comes out of a rock in this temple is renowned. Behind a tattered drape, a small natural gas jest produces a continuously burning flame. The Jwala Mai Temple has a spring and three eternal flames, "Holy Flame from Soil," "Holy Flame from Rock," and "Holy Fire from Water," which are fed by natural gases. Two flames appear to be continuously burning. Hindus believe this fire was set on fire by Brahma (the creator) as he lit water.
Gumba Samba:
This monastery is of Tibetan origin. According to legend, the monastery was founded by a monk named Syandol. It was originally a monks' hostel, but it fell. The people of Tibet and Jharkot then restored it. Sakyamuni's, Chingresig's, and Guru Rimpoche are the main deities of these monasteries. It is located at the entrance of Muktinath Temple Complex, on the left.
