Barachuk, Gohpur, Biswanath district, Assam · 26.8630°, 93.7541°
A Vaishnava temple of mud brick on a pancharatha plan, raised around 1680 under the patronage of the Ahom king Sulikphaa and counted among the better examples of late-medieval Ahom building. Protected by both the Assam government and the ASI, it remains the focus of local Doul Utsav and Bohag Bihu observances.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Local tradition says the temple once bore a golden finial that was carried off during invasions.
