Siva Doul

Sivasagar district, Assam

Na-Pukhuri Shiva Dol or Rudrasagar Shiva Dol in an 18th-century Hindu temple constructed during the reign of king Lakshmi Singha (1769-1780). This temple is 8 km away from Sivasagar town. This is the last temple built during the Ahom era which represents grandeur before its overall decline in temple building and architectural building. This temple is located on the south bank of Rudrasagar Pukhuri (tank) which was excavated in honor of Rudra Singha. As Rudrasagar Pukhuri was excavated on the opposite of Athaisagar Pukhuri, it is also known as Na Pukhuri (New-Tank) and Athaisagar Pukhuri which was originally excavated during the reign of Jayadhwaj Singha as Purani Pukhuri (Old-tank).
