SALAGRAMAM(Tiruchalagramam)
 
This Divya shetram, called Mukthinath, is in the Himalayan range in Nepal. It is located around 200 Kms from Katmandu. One has to trek around 5 hours from Beni.
 
The moolavar in Mukthinath Temple is Sri Murthi and the Thayar Sri Devi. The Theertham is Chakra Theertham and the Vimanam Kanaka Vimanam.
 
Though there is no specific agreement about the exact location of the Divya shetram, it is believed that some claim Mukthinath is Salagramam and others the banks of Gandaki River enroute to Mukthinath from Katmandu. The Salagramam stones held in worship by Srivaishnavas are found in this part of Nepal. Periyaazhwar refers to Krishna as ?Salagramam Udaiya Nambi?.

Tirumangai Azhwar ? 988 - 97, 3079, 3570, 3581, 3856 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam)
 
Indians do not need a visa but should carry an identity card ? passport/Driving License/Ration card issued in India. The best season to visit is March-April.
