History Of Bhairabi Temple

Tezpur, Assam, India
The Bhairabi Temple, also known as Bhairabi Devalaya or Sri Sri Maa Bhairabi Mandir, is a revered Hindu temple situated on a small hillock on the eastern outskirts of Tezpur, Assam. It is dedicated to Goddess Bhairabi, a powerful and fierce incarnation of Goddess Durga (one of the Mahavidyas). This temple is considered one of the significant Shakti Peedams of Goddess Durga in Assam, holding immense spiritual and religious importance for the local community and pilgrims from across the region. The temple's origins are deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, particularly associated with the legendary love story of Usha and Aniruddha. It is believed that Princess Usha, the daughter of the demon King Banasura who ruled the ancient kingdom of Sonitpur (present-day Tezpur), regularly worshipped Goddess Bhairabi at this sacred site. This mythological connection hints at the temple's antiquity, possibly dating back to the age of the Puranas (Dwapara Yuga). While the original structure is believed to be ancient, possibly built by the Koch dynasty rulers around the 8th or 9th century AD and later damaged by natural calamities, the current temple is a relatively modern construction, with a history of renovations. Some sources suggest the current structure is approximately 400 years old. Despite the renovations, remnants of its rich history, such as stone carvings and old bricks, are scattered around the complex, with a captivating stone carving believed to belong to the 9th Century AD. The temple's location offers a tranquil and picturesque setting, with a beautiful view of the majestic Kolia Bhomora Setu (a bridge over the Brahmaputra River) and the confluence of the Brahmaputra and Bharali rivers. The serene environment, combined with its profound religious significance, makes the Bhairabi Temple a perfect spot for spiritual seeking, reflection, and appreciation of Assam's cultural heritage.
