The famous temple of Muktinath lies in the district of Mustang and is situated on a high mountainside. During the festival of Janai Poornima, Hindu devotees gather at this spot to pay homage to Lord Muktinath. Dharmashala and Maharani Pouwa(resting places for Pilgrims) provide lodging for visitors and travellers. About one hundred meters to the south of the temple of different gods and goddesses are enshrined. On the grounds of the temple ate three boles from which flames shoot forth continually. Since ancient times, these divine flames of Jwala have been worshipped as Jwaladevi (the goddess of flame).
