Mahabhairav Temple, Hindu temple in Sonitpur district, India
The Mahabhairav Temple sits on a hillock in the northern section of Tezpur town, featuring stone architecture with concrete additions and renovations.
King Bana constructed the original stone temple, which later received land grants and administrative support during the Ahom dynasty's Tungkhungia period.
Devotees participate in ceremonies where they release pigeons and offer laddus mixed with bhang, milk, and spices as traditional prasad to Lord Shiva.
The temple, managed by the Government of Assam through a committee led by the Sonitpur Deputy Commissioner, maintains regular visiting hours for worshippers.
The temple contains a Shiva linga reportedly made of 'Living Stone,' which according to local observations increases in size over time.
