Sukreswar Temple
The Sukreswar Temple is an important Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Guwahati, Assam, India. It houses one of the largest lingams (symbols of Shiva).
The temple sits on Sukreswar Hill along the south bank of the Brahmaputra River in the Panbazar area. A long flight of steps leads down from the temple to the river, where visitors can watch boats, enjoy the sunset, and see people performing puja for their ancestors.
It is believed to have been built in 1744 by Ahom king Pramatta Singha. The next king, Rajeswar Singha, supported the temple and provided funds in 1759 to promote the Saiva cult. The Sukreswar Temple is a popular site for locals and pilgrims alike.
