Step into a revered divine abode

As you climb the steps to the Mahabhairab Temple, the rhythmic chants of the devotees create a mystical atmosphere drawing you closer to the divine.

Situated on top a hill in Tezpur, Assam, the holy shrine is dedicated to Lord Shiva in his fearsome form and steeped in myth and legend. It is said that the temple was originally founded by Banasura, a devout demon king and a follower of Lord Shiva, making it a site of immense religious and historic importance.

The world’s largest stone Shiva Linga

At the heart of the Mahabhairab Temple lies its most astounding feature—the world's largest Shiva Linga made of stone. You can marvel at the massive structure, which stands as a symbol of the unshakable devotion of the countless pilgrims who visit this sacred site. The Linga is not just an object of worship but also a masterpiece of ancient craftsmanship, radiating an aura of peace and power.
