Dirgheshwari temple, Hindu temple on the Brahmaputra River bank in Guwahati, India.

The temple features an underground inner chamber within a small cave where the idol of Goddess Durga resides beneath stone walls.

The temple construction occurred during the reign of Ahom king Swargadeo Siva Singha between 1714 and 1744, supervised by Tarun Duwarah Barphukan.

During the annual Durga Puja celebrations, devotees gather at the temple to perform traditional rituals, including ceremonial animal offerings to the goddess.

The temple complex includes designated areas for ceremonies, a water tank with fish and turtles, and multiple entrances for visitor access.

Ancient rock carvings and images of deities surround the temple grounds, while a silver Japi from 1756 continues to cover the Durga idol.
