History & tradition
Sivadol stands on the bank of the Sivasagar tank, also called Borpukhuri, in the heart of Sivasagar in Assam. The group comprises three temples, the Sivadol of Shiva, the Vishnudol and the Devidol of Durga, together with a museum. The tank was dug between 1731 and 1738, and the temples were built in 1734 by Queen Ambika, wife of the Ahom king Siva Singha. The Sivadol rises 104 feet (32 metres), with a base about 195 feet around, and is topped by a golden dome eight feet high.
