History & tradition
Burhi Gosani Devalaya is a Shakta temple on Dewal Road in Jorhat, Assam. It was originally a place of worship of the deity Burhi, who later came to be identified with the goddess Durga. The image was brought to the Ahom kingdom from the Jaintia hills by the Ahom king Rudra Singha. Later, when King Gaurinath Singha shifted the capital to Jorhat, the Burhi Gosani Devalaya was established there in 1794. The main event of the temple is the annual Durga Puja.
