The Right Cheek (Gandasthala) of Mother Sati consecrated the holy heights of Muktinath along the sacred Gandaki river in Nepal, manifesting as the revered Shri Gandaki Shakti Peedam.
Presided over by Goddess Gandaki Chandi and protected by Lord Bhairava Chakrapani, this holy kshethra is celebrated for granting Moksha (liberation), eternal spiritual illumination, and purification from all past karmas.
