History & significance

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.

Sthala katha — the legend

Local tradition says the temple once bore a golden finial that was carried off during invasions.
