Ugro Tara Temple

Ugro Tara Temple is a Hindu shrine in Guwahati featuring traditional Assamese architectural design with detailed stonework on its exterior. The carved walls display religious symbols and depictions of deities from Hindu mythology throughout.

The temple has stood for centuries as a monument dedicated to goddess Ugro Tara, a form of Shakti in Hindu belief. Over time, it has remained a site where these spiritual practices have been observed by local communities.

The temple serves as a gathering place during Navratri and Durga Puja when devotees offer flowers and chant together. The air fills with incense smoke and rhythmic prayers that echo through the stone halls.

The temple sits on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River and opens from sunrise to sunset on most days. During major religious festivals, visiting arrangements change, so checking ahead before your trip helps with planning.

Inside sits a consecrated statue of Ugro Tara in her fierce form with multiple arms, symbolizing the power to overcome negativity. This particular representation sets this temple apart and shows how the local community understands the goddess.
