The earthen lamp at Dhekiakhowa Bornamghar in Assam has been burning continuously for over 500 years.
This sacred lamp was first lit by Srimanta Sankardev, the great 15th-century Vaishnavite saint and reformer, during his visit to Dhekiakhowa. Since then, the lamp has never been extinguished, kept alive by the devotees who have continued the tradition for centuries.
This remarkable continuity makes the Dhekiakhowa Bornamghar a unique symbol of faith, devotion, and Assamese spiritual heritage. It is not only a religious center but also a cultural icon representing Assam's age-old tradition of community worship and service.
