Thowra Doul

Thowra Doul

It bears the glorious history of Swargadeo Gadadhar Singha. Thow means row of houses and ra means people of Chutia Clan. Here the King established these people who were expert in gold and silver works. Located at a distance of 10.0 Kilometers from Sivasagar Town, this temple was built by Alon Burha Dehingia Borbarua in between 1683 and 1685 A.D during the reign of Ahom Swargadeo Gadadhar Singha

Architecturally , the main temple structure, which is the garbhagriha, has a curved roof composed of four triangular segments, termed as char-chala style. Plain floral designs are carved all over its outer walls. The tank attached to the Thowra Doul is believed to be one of the earliest tanks excavated during Ahom rule.
