A gift to humanity

Located about 22 kilometres north of Udalguri town, Bhairabkunda lies at the tri-junction of Bhutan, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh. This picturesque picnic spot is considered God’s gift to humanity. Its unique location, where the Jampani River (originating from Bhutan) and the Bhairabi River merge to form the Dhanshiri River (a major tributary of the Brahmaputra), adds to its mystique. Imagine standing at the meeting point of these life-giving waters—a place where nature unites across borders.

The benevolent fishes of the kunda

According to proverbial tales, there existed a sacred kunda (pond) where devotees would offer their prayers. Within its waters swam mystical fishes. These aquatic beings, touched by the devotion of the faithful, would accept the rice offerings and, in return, sprinkle holy water for peace. Interestingly, these celestial fish would avoid impure individuals, emphasizing the sanctity of the place.

A spiritual aura

Geographically located in Bhutan but near Bhairabkunda town, the Shiva Mandir draws devotees throughout the year. Pilgrims seek blessings and spiritual solace here.
