GUWAHATI
- UMANANDA SIVA MANDIR |
|
|
|
This
capital city of Assam State, besides housing the famous Kamakhya
temple, dedicated to Makali, built on the Nilachala hill contains a
Siva temple called Umananda temple. It is situated on a small hill
in the peacock island of the holy river Brahmaputra. When the
original temple was washed away by the floods of river Brahmaputra,
a modern attractive structure with many pavilions for
parivaradevatas, like Ganesh, Durga, Surya, Parvathi etc. was built
by Rajeswar Gupta, a devout Saivate devotee. The sculptural
adornments on the walls, and the curvilinear tower cast enchantment
of the visitors. The Sivalinga in the garbha griha is quite
attractive. This temple is popularly called as Negriting temple,
besides Umananda Mandir too. It is visited by all Hindu devotees
throughout the year. The annual Sivaratri festival draws thousands
of bhaktas.
It
lies near Guwahati, the state capital enjoying all facilities of
transport.
