Hotels Near Tilinga Mandir

Tinsukia, Assam, India
The Tilinga Mandir, literally meaning the Bell Temple in Assamese, is a highly revered Lord Shiva temple located in Bordubi, a small town near Tinsukia in Upper Assam. The temple is renowned worldwide for the extraordinary number of bells, in various shapes, sizes, and metals like brass, copper, and aluminum, that are tied to a gigantic Peepal (Banyan) tree within the complex and also hung around the temple premises. The temple is nearly half a century old, with its origin tracing back to 1965. Legend states that tea garden workers in the area observed a Shiva Lingam naturally emerging from the ground near the Peepal tree. This divine occurrence led the local administrators to construct a small temple at the site. The unique tradition of offering bells stems from a strong local belief. Devotees come here to pray to Lord Shiva for the fulfillment of a wish, and upon the wish being granted, they return to tie a bell (tilinga) to the tree or the temple structure as a token of gratitude and answered prayer. Alongside bells, devotees also frequently offer trishuls (Lord Shiva's trident) or pigeons. The continuous stream of offerings has led to an incredible collection of bells, making it a unique and spiritually captivating site. Some bells weigh as little as 50 grams while others can be as heavy as 55 kilograms. This vast collection has earned the temple a mention in the Limca Book of World Records for hosting the largest number of bells. The temple environment is serene, surrounded by the lush green expanse of tea gardens, offering a tranquil escape for spiritual seekers and tourists alike. The mystical power attributed to the temple and the visual spectacle of the thousands of bells make it a must-visit destination in Tinsukia.
