Located atop of a small Nilachal hill at Guwahati, the temple has a very unique history and is the most popular temple dedicated to Goddess Shathi (Bleeding Goddess) in India. The temple premises are clean and well maintained but mostly crowded, even during weekdays. One has to be there at early morning hours to get lined up for the free dharsan of the deity and the dharsan inside main tower, closes at 1300hrs. Special dharsan (500 bucks per head) facility is also available but tickets can be booked at the early dawn hours, on the same day of dharsan. A big tower along with a few nearby towers with kalasams at the top appears so divine and graceful, representing the great marvels of indian traditional architecture. Daily Annadhanam available between 1200 to 1500 hrs and is very very well managed by the temple authorities. Cameras and mobiles are allowed inside the premises but photography inside the main tower is prohibited. Special facilities like waiting room, wheel chairs etc for differently abled and old people are provided by the temple authorities and it is really worth tonnes of thanks and appreciation.

on our way from Kohima to Kaziranga, we stayed at Golaghat. the next day, while proceeding towards Kaziranga( actually an hour and half before arriving at Kaziranga forest reserve) we spotted this board outside a dilapidated building. we got off to find that the building was shut. A bit disappointed, we were about to turn back, when I spotted a rough road by the side. we started climbing the same and after about 15 minutes came to top of the Deoparbat and guess what- a most astonishing sight awaited us. tucked away, far above, were the remains of a ^th or 7th century Temple ruins, with the central dome covered by a zinc roof , (obviosly done by the ARCHEALOGY DEPARTMENT to preserve it). It had intricately carved figurines around the entire dome. possibly during an earthquake, it must have got destroyed. the place is so magical, we can weave a lot of stories around it in our minds. There was no one in sight and the peace and quiet gave it a spiritual energy, which seemed to engulf me. I spent an hour or roaming around the area. It is definitely worth a visit, from Kaziranga forest reserve , as a day trip, for sure.
