History & significance
A Shiva temple built in 1744 by the Ahom king Pramatta Singha on Sukreswar hill above the south bank of the Brahmaputra at Panbazar in Guwahati, holding one of the largest lingams in the region. His successor Rajeswar Singha endowed it further in 1759, and a long stair descends from the shrine to Sukreswar ghat.
