The Bharali Namghar, located in Kaliabor in the Nagaon district of Assam, is famous for its miraculous legends, spiritual aura, and unusual religious practices. It is a highly revered Vaishnavite place of worship, originally established to promote the teachings of Srimanta Sankardev and the Ekasarana Naam Dharma.
For about 150 to 200 years Bharali Namghar was situated in the then 'Bamgaon', currently known as 'Daulpukhuri'. Bapuram Deo of Balisatra took the initiative in establishing the Namghar. The Namghar was burnt down by the Burmese Army (during the Burmese invasion of Assam between 1817 and 1826). Having no other option, the villagers left the place and re-established themselves in Bharali Gaon. Accordingly, the Namghar (popularly known as Bharali Namghar) came into being.
One of the interesting aspects of the Bharali Namghar is the 'Laikhuta' (main pillar of the building) made by Tulsi tree (holy Basil). There are faiths and beliefs about the Laikhuta and preserved well near 'Simhasana' or 'Guruasana'. It is believed that the Bharali Namghar is the holy place to visit for fulfilling wishes. The local seniors used to say that the Namghar is the rest house of 'Burha Dangoria' (a holy sprit).
