The only purely Hindu temple at Muktinath is the Shiva Parvati Mandir, with Shiva, the god of generation and destruction, and his consort mountain-goddess Parvati. Shiva’s lingam is one of Shiva’s icons at the temple. The main temple is surrounded by four small temples, one dedicated to Krishna, the eighth reincarnation of Vishnu, playing the flute, and another dedicated to Vishnu with four arms holding n his right hand the discus and in his left the conch.
