108 (Muktinath Temple)

Price on Request

Located 3,800 meters high in Nepal's Annapurna mountain range, this sacred temple is a pilgrimage site revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike. Lining the walls are one hundred and eight water spouts, each pouring frigid water directly from the melting ice of the Kali Gandaki river, which flows through the Himalayan mountains. This painting illustrates the journey of many devotees, young and old, as they accomplish this honorable show of faith. The details depict them as they make the demanding trek up to the mountain, bathe beneath the freezing water to cleanse themselves of past sins and achieve spiritual liberation, and finally pray at the central shrine to conclude their pilgrimage.
