History
Basudev Devalaya has a very fascinating story attached to it. As per the local folklore, once fishing net of a fisherman got stuck in a pond known as Jaymangal Beel for seven days. On the seventh day, a local named Gada Kahar had a dream of Lord Basudev wishing to be relieved from the fishing net. When the news of dream reached Ahom King Sutanphaa , he immediately tried to remove the two stones on the spot. However, because of the failing attempt, he built the temple there. [1]
