Religious Places in Dibrugarh

A beautiful city located on the banks of the Brahmaputra River in Assam, Dibrugarh has amazing tourist spots to fascinate people. Once you have decided to tour Dibrugarh, visiting the religious places should be a must in the itinerary. An important aspect of the religious lives of the people of Dibrugarh are the “sattras” and “thans” located here. “Sattras” and “thans” are Assamese places of worship. The “satras” were mostly built during the Ahom period. These “satras” depict the rich heritage and teachings of the Vaishnavite sect and saints. Let us make a religious tour of the Dibrugarh city.

Koli Aai Thaan Religious places in Dibrugarh

One of the famous tourist spots of Dibrugarh, the Koli Aai Thaan is amongst the oldest Thaans of Ahom regimes here. The thaan is dedicated to Koli Aai, the daughter of the head priest of Dibaru Satra of Assam. According to legends due to the lack of male heir, the Satra started disappearing gradually. Koli Aai, however, kept the legacy of Satras alive with her disciples by preaching its ideals and principles. And hence people were united by religious sentiments and preaching of Koli Aai. The than was later dedicated to Koli Aai. Even though the thaan does not have any idols, yet it possesses a strong hold in the minds of the people. People of Dibrugarh visit the place regularly to seek her blessings of Koli Aai.
