Shukreswar temple is one of the famous temples in Guwahati situated in the banks of river Brahmaputra.

One of the rarest temples of Shukradev, this place gives you a divine feeling of Shiva's blessings around. Temple is well maintained and very easily approachable. Cars can be parked in the parking which is around 100 metres from the temple. This temple is along the Brahmaputra banks, and you can spend some good time with the calming sight of river flowing.

I visit here with my son, I witnessed the genuine devotion of the worshippers. The atmosphere was filled with the harmonious sound of prayers and the fragrance of incense, creating a unique and unforgettable ambiance. The history of the temple is associated with Saint Sukra, who made a retreat at the Sukreswar hillock, where he regularly meditated and worshipped Lord Shiva. The place where he meditated is called Hastagiri as per the Kalika Purana, for it being in the shape of the hump of an elephant. This temple later was constructed in the year 1744 by the King of Ahom, Pramatta Singh, who is supposed to have constructed many religious sites during his rule. In the year 1759, the king Rajeswar Singha took the charge of promoting the Shiva cult. The bank of the river on which the temple is located is used by the devotees for taking holy bath and performing other Puja activities.

Nice place

Holy temple located in picturesque location in Shukreswar Hill and one side mighty Brahmaputra rives - a famous temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Lots of devotees visit this temple daily, however on Monday the numbers are more.

It's situation on the riverbank of Brahmaputra. One must enter through the Janardan Devalaya Gate. Then you'll find the steps to the Shukreswar Devalaya. The Janardan Devalaya is situated below only. You can also enjoy the riverside behind the temple, and in the evening, a majestic sunset can also be enjoyed. But you have to be very careful as the steps are very dangerous behind the temple.

It is a very old and beautiful temple of Lord Mahadev,whole environment is beautiful.The Brahmaputra River adjacent to it adds to its beauty.

Ancient Shiva Temple situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra. The temple is situated just at the entrance of the Overbridge. You need to take the stairs for The main Shiva temple. Janardan Devalay is at a lower level. You can have an amazing view of the Brahmaputra & sunset from behind the temple. Be a little careful on the stairs, which are much steep & narrow.

Amazing temple. The vibrations that we felt inside the Vishnu and shiva shrines were profound. Calmness, serenity and divinity flows in the breeze.

The view from the temple is just awesome...🌼
