Siva Dol is one of the most revered Shiva temples in Assam. It is the central and tallest temple in a group of three structures (the others being Vishnu Dol and Devi Dol) built on the banks of the massive Sivasagar Tank.
Mythology
Built in 1734 by Bar Raja Ambika, queen of Ahom King Swargadeo Siba Singha. It was built to assert the dominance of Shaivism (which the king patronized) in the capital city of Rangpur (now Sivasagar).
