Hayagriva Madhava Temple, Hindu temple in Hajo, India.

The Hayagriva Madhava Temple stands on Monikut hill, featuring black stone walls decorated with relief figures depicting Vishnu incarnations and epic scenes.

King Raghudeva Narayan constructed the current temple structure in 1583, though earlier foundations date back to the Pala dynasty of the 10th century.

The temple holds five subsidiary stone deities alongside the main Hayagriva Madhava idol, drawing Hindu devotees and Buddhist followers throughout the year.

Located 30 kilometers west of Guwahati, visitors can reach the temple complex through regular bus services and taxi connections from the city.

An ingenious oil flow system keeps the sanctum sanctorum lamps perpetually lit through simple tubes connected to an external container.
