Sivasagar Sivadol, Hindu temple in Sivasagar, India

The Sivasagar Sivadol temple stands 104 feet tall with a base perimeter of 195 feet, topped by an 8-foot golden dome at its summit point.

Queen Bar Raja Ambika commissioned the construction of this temple in 1734 during the reign of Ahom king Swargadeo Siva Singha, who ruled from 1714 to 1744.

The temple structure contains intricate carvings depicting Hindu deities, with a reversed Shiva Linga inside the sanctum sanctorum and sculptures of Durga on exterior walls.

Visitors can reach the temple through regular bus and train services from Guwahati, with multiple accommodation options available near the Sivasagar bus terminal.

The central tower of Sivadol maintains its position as the tallest Shiva temple tower in India, featuring four smaller towers called angashikaras at each corner.
