Places to visit

  • Burhimai Than : The elderly mother's shrine makes reference to Durga. Siva-Parboti is referred to as Burha-Burhi among the tribes (particularly the Kochari). Although it is a modern temple, "Sopa Khowa Sil" was its previous name, and it is a beautifully built temple. The only thing there was a stone that people fiercely worshiped as a divinity. In any case, they feared the same omen.
  • Distance: Burhimai Than is 67 kilometres away from Golaghat

  • Kako Gosani Than : The Durga temple was likewise delivered here on a piece of "Kako" bamboo. According to folklore, Assam experienced a political crisis in the 17th century, during the Ahom dynasty. Sulikpha, the Ahom king at the time, was just a young child. Laluksola Borphukan, his father-in-law, took over the reins of the kingdom after that. In the name of the young king "Lora Raja". In order to secure the kingdom for himself, Borphukan started to maim the Ahom princess. This prevented them from claiming the throne as is customary. But Langi Gadapani, also known as Gadadhar Singha, the head of the Tungkhungia dynasty, managed to flee. His wife Joymoti was slain and subjected to torture. The identical golden Devi Durga idols were in Gadadhar Singha's fabric bundle and within the hollow Kako bamboo piece when he vanished. He loved her once. One day, he was unwinding beneath a tree that Naramara Bill had planted to produce an acid fruit called "Am Tenga" (Lake). The king's spies suddenly surrounded the man. Before running away, he started by casting one idol into the lake. Then, using this idol, the villagers constructed a temple on the Diring River. Since then, its location has changed. West of Bokakhat is where it is located. Here, plays like Basanti and Durga Puza are performed.
