Perched at 3,800 metres in the Himalayas, Muktinath echoes ancient legends of Samudra Manthan. Mythology says Lord Shiva cooled his burning throat here after drinking Halahala poison, in the sacred Lakshmi and Saraswati Kunds. Behind the temple, 108 water spouts offer devotees purity, peace, and a deep sense of liberation amid the mountains.
