Photos Of Deva Bhavana
Hajo, Assam, India
Deva Bhavana, also popularly known as the Ganesha Temple, is a pivotal Hindu shrine in the sacred town of Hajo, Assam. Hajo is famous for being a unique confluence of three religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam—and Deva Bhavana stands as an important element of the Pancha Tirtha, or five sacre d sites, in the area. The temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god revered as the remover of obstacles. The existing structure was constructed by the Ahom King Pramatta Singha in 1744 AD. However, the temple's history is much older, as it is built around a colossal, naturally formed rock that strikingly resembles a reclining elephant. A large image of Lord Ganesha has been carved out of this elephant-shaped rock, making the idol and the temple itself unique in its composition and form. The name Deva Bhavana literally translates to "House of Gods" or "Abode of Deities." According to ancient local legends and traditions, this spot was historically considered the meeting place for all the Hindu deities of the region on special occasions, thus cementing its spiritual significance as a central hub for divine consultation. Visiting Deva Bhavana is often considered the traditional starting point for a pilgrimage to the other temples in Hajo, emphasizing its importance in the local religious hierarchy. The peaceful and serene environment of the temple complex offers a tranquil retreat for devotees and tourists alike. The simplicity of its architecture, combined with the profound religious belief associated with it, makes Deva Bhavana a fascinating spot. It is a place where history, folklore, and devotion intertwine, giving visitors a deep sense of the ancient spiritual heritage of Assam. The temple is situated in a slightly more level area compared to the hilltop temples like Hayagriva Madhava and Kedareswar, making it easily accessible for all visitors. This shrine is a proud testament to the royal patronage of the Ahom dynasty and the enduring religious practices of the region.
