Kamakhya Temple

The Kamakhya Temple is situated in Guwahati atop Nilachal Hill, which rises to a height of 160 meters. This hill is home to a collection of ancient temples, with the Kamakhya Temple being the most renowned among them. It is regarded as the most significant of all the Shaktipithas in India. Surrounding this sacred site, a small township named Kamakhya has developed. The area is celebrated for its unique natural beauty, offering visitors an aerial perspective of the city of Guwahati and the majestic Brahmaputra River flowing beneath.

Balaji Temple

This temple is a relatively new addition to Guwahati's religious sites. It is located in the city's Betkuchi neighborhood. Unlike other temples in this area, the Balaji temple features striking South Indian architecture. The temple appears stunning when lit by electric lights in the evening.


Umananda Temple

This Shiva temple was constructed in 1664 on the peacock island in the center of the Brahmaputra. It is thought that Kamdeva was burned here by Lord Shiva using his third eye. This temple has a wonderful celebration of Shivaratri every year. The island is thought to be the smallest inhabited island in the world. Majuli is the largest river island in the world.

Basistha Temple

Ahom King Rajeswar Singha built the Basistha temple, a Shiva mandir in the southeast of Guwahati city, in 1764 and gave 835 Bighas land for the ashram. Legend has it that the great saint Basistha (Vasishtha) built the ashram. The ashram's temple is situated on the banks of mountain streams that emerge from Meghalaya's hills and flow through the city as the Basistha and Bahini/Bharalu rivers.
