Negheriting Shiva Doul

The Negheriting Shiva Doul temple stands on a hillock near National Highway 37, featuring a main sanctum with a three-foot-diameter Banalinga at its center.

The temple's original structure from the 8th century by Kachari dynasty underwent reconstruction in 1765 under Ahom King Rajeswar Singha with architect Ghanashyam Khonikar.

The temple functions as a Panchayatana complex, housing the main Shiva shrine surrounded by four smaller temples dedicated to Vishnu, Ganesha, Surya, and Durga.

The temple complex welcomes visitors throughout the year and maintains regular worship schedules, with the Agamacharji family continuing their traditional priestly duties.

The temple's name derives from the Negheri bird native to the region, and the site includes stones transported from the Dihing River banks.
