Description :
This prominent pilgrimage site is situated at the holy confluence of the major rivers, Kali Gandaki and Trishuli, including Seti, Budhi Gandaki and Madi tributaries. Mentioned in several Hindu scriptures, Devghat is densely forested by sal trees, shrines, temples, ashrams and old age homes. The most prominent is the Chakreshwar Temple where the famed King Mukunda Sen of Palpa is said to have meditated and attained nirvana (salvation) in the 16th century. A huge religious fair is held at the site on the occasion of Makar Sankranti, the first day of the Nepalese month of Magh, in January.
