Pathibhara Devi Temple, also known as Mukkumlung by the local Limbu community, is a revered religious site situated at an altitude of 3,794 meters above sea level in the Taplejung district of eastern Nepal. Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, this sacred destination holds immense natural beauty and deep spiritual significance. Pathibhara Devi is widely worshipped as a wish-fulfilling goddess and a remover of obstacles, drawing both local and international devotees. The temple is considered one of the most significant spiritual sites in Nepal and is venerated by both Hindus and Buddhists.
According to local legend, a group of shepherds lost hundreds of sheep while grazing on the very spot where the temple now stands. In despair, they experienced a divine vision in which Goddess Pathibhara instructed them to offer a ritual sheep sacrifice and build a temple in her honor. Following the ritual, the lost herd miraculously returned. Since then, devotees have practiced ritual offerings as a symbol of devotion and gratitude. Pathibhara Devi is seen as a powerful and fearsome goddess easily pleased by selfless love and devotion, yet merciless toward those with impure intentions.
