History

The Da Parbatia doorway at Tezpur is among Assam’s oldest temple remains, a Gupta-era carved frame of a lost Devi/Shiva shrine. It is now an ASI site, read as the beginning of Assamese temple art.

Legends

• The river-and-hill landscape of Sonitpur is the stage of Banasura and Usha–Aniruddha; this doorway is a stone echo of that sacred geography.
