Basudev Devalaya (Assamese:বসুদেৱ দেৱালয়) in Balikaria, Nalbari district, Assam is an ancient Hindu temple and is dedicated to Basudev. This temple was built by Ahom King Sutanphaa (1714-1744). [1] [2]

History[edit | edit source]

Basudev Devalaya has a very fascinating story attached to it. As per the local folklore, once fishing net of a fisherman got stuck in a pond known as Jaymangal Beel for seven days. On the seventh day, a local named Gada Kahar had a dream of Lord Basudev wishing to be relieved from the fishing net. When the news of dream reached Ahom King Sutanphaa , he immediately tried to remove the two stones on the spot. However, because of the failing attempt, he built the temple there. [1]
