Basudev Than, Hindu temple in Dhakuakhana, India.

The Basudev Than temple sits within 200 acres of dense forest featuring three slopes, highlands, and decorative entrance gates called Ajars.

Initially constructed during the 14th century by Chutia king Satyanarayan, the temple was relocated in the mid-17th century under Ahom king Jayadhwaj Singha's reign.

The temple holds annual Pal Nam celebrations during Maghi Purnima, where devotees gather to perform traditional rituals and worship ceremonies.

Visitors can reach Basudev Than through Lakhimpur railway station or Lilabari Airport, located approximately 10 kilometers from Dhakuakhana town.

The temple received its name 'Narua,' meaning 'not to stay,' due to multiple land ownership changes throughout its history.
