Negheriting Shiva Doul
Golaghat district, Assam
The Negheriting Shiva Doul is a Shiva temple at Dergaon in Assam, India. Situated on a hillock at about one and half km north from the National Highway 37 in the Golaghat district of Assam. This is a national protected monument. Later due to natural calamities it came into destruction. The older Negheriting temple is mentioned in Buranjis in relation to wars with the Kachari kingdom of early 16th century. The region around Dergaon, where the temple is located, was then part of the Kachari domain, before being annexed by the Ahoms during the reign of Suhungmung. In 1765, a brick temple was constructed by Ahom king Swargadeo Rajeswar Singha in place of the older stone temple. The famous architect assigned to the job was Ghanashyam Khonikar.
