According to sources : the temple was rebuilt by the Bijay Duara Phukan in 1720 C.E during the reign of Ahom King Swargadeo Siva Singha (1714-1744 C.E.). But it had been severely damaged due to earth quake in 1897 and was renovated in 1901 under the patronage of Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy.

This beautiful temple of Lord Vishnu, an ancient heritage of Assam has been preserved in its original form. It is situated on the bank of river Brahmaputra, has an amazing view and greenery all around. A must visit if you love nature and ancient structures. Untouched by modernisation is what makes this temple more worthy of it's existence!

A beautiful temple of the Ahom era, this Krishna Temple is a must visit for people who are touring the Northeast and starting their journey from Guwahati. The carvings are very interesting and intricate and they offer a fantastic insight into the abilities of the Ahoms. This place has retained a lot of its original glory as it is an Archaeological site, hence it hasn't been encroached by modern elements. Please be advised that the stone steps leading to the temple are very uneven and are a potential hazard during rainfall, when the stone becomes slippery.

It is in such a beautiful place but in the name of maintenance govt has done nothing. It is an archaeological site marked by the government but no development has been done. The pandits are very nice and polite. Very few people visit this place so it's calm and nice.
