History & tradition
Maha Mrityunjay Temple is at Nagaon in Assam and is dedicated to Shiva. Its architecture is its distinguishing feature: the whole temple is built in the form of a Shivalinga, 126 feet high, and it is described as the largest of its kind. Construction was begun in 2003 by Acharya Bhrigu Giri Maharaj at the place where he used to meditate, a spot that tradition links with the chanting of the Mahamrityunjaya mantra.
