Detailed Notes

Founded by Srimanta Madhavdeva in the early 16th century, this Namghar (community prayer hall) is a central place of worship and a key symbol of Assam’s Vaishnavite culture. It is renowned not just for its size but also for its enduring spiritual tradition — most notably, the earthen lamp that has been continuously burning for over 500 years.
