History & significance

A Shiva temple at Ketakibari near Tezpur said to hold one of the largest Shiva lingams anywhere. The site falls into two parts, the lingam where it now stands and its original base a little away.

Sthala katha — the legend

An earthquake is said to have torn the lingam from its base and set it down where it rests today.
