Gaurisagar Temple

Gourisagar (Gaurisagar) tank stretching 150 acres was dug by the first wife of Sivasingha queen Phuleswari in 1723. The temple of Goddess Durga is also there by the side of Gourisagar. Gourisagar is the name given to a small village Bezgaon by the Ahom queen Phuleswari after the construction of the three temples. There is a huge tank dug in front of the temples. All the constructions were finished by 1723. The temples are situated on the northern bank of the tank. The three temples are Siva dole, Vishnu dole and Devi dole. Siva dole is the biggest among them. It is 32 meters in height and 60 meters in perimeter. The Vishnu Dole is 20 meters in height and 45 meters in perimeter while the Devi Dole is 20 meters in height and 40 meters in perimeter. The Devi temple is decorated with numerous terracotta images on its wall. This carries the brilliance of the artists of Assam at that time.
