    History

    The Dhekiakhowa Bornaamghar is believed to have been established by the great Vaishnavite saint Madhavdeva in the 16th century. Legend says that he lit an earthen lamp (mati-saki) here, which has been kept burning continuously for over 400 years, making it a unique attraction. The Namghar has undergone several renovations over the centuries, but its core structure and sanctity have been preserved. It serves as a major center for religious and cultural activities for the local community. The continuous burning lamp symbolizes the devotion and faith of the people, making this place a living testament to Assamese Vaishnavite heritage.
