About This Journey

Located on a hillock in Tezpur town, Sonitpur district, Mahabhairav Temple is one of the oldest Shiva pilgrimage sites in northeastern India. Ancient Puranic tradition attributes the original foundation of this temple to King Bana, the legendary ruler of Sonitpur and contemporary of Lord Krishna. The current stone temple complex was renovated by Ahom kings and later local patrons. The sanctum houses a massive stone Shivalinga made of living rock. Thousands of devotees travel to Tezpur during Maha Shivaratri to attend the famous annual temple mela and offer prayers.
