Hatimura Temple
About Hatimura Temple
Hatimura Temple stands as one of Central Assam's most significant Shakti centers, housing a remarkable ten-armed stone idol of Goddess Mahishamardini carved from a single block—a masterpiece of ancient Assamese stone-cutting artistry. Located in Silghat near Jakhalabandha, the temple occupies a scenic hillock with commanding views of the mighty Brahmaputra River. The site blends archaeological importance with spiritual significance, attracting both pilgrims seeking the goddess's protection and history enthusiasts exploring the Ahom Kingdom's legacy. Local tradition associates the name 'Hatimura' with the hill's elephant-head shape and suggests the location hosted intense tantric rituals in antiquity. The temple remains an active worship center where Durga Puja is celebrated with considerable ceremony and traditional observances.
