Dadan Hill

 

The Goalpara district of Assam is a wonderful holiday destination which has a number of well known tourist spots. One such tourist attraction is the Dadan Hill, on top of which a Shiva temple is situated. According to a legend, a general of the king of Sonitpur, Bana, called Dadan, had killed a wild elephant here as it used to disturb him during his meditation. He was a disciple of Shiva and had established the temple on top of the hill. A sculpture of the elephant made by rock is also found on the river bank of Dariduri. Apart from the religious importance, the spot surrounded by green mountains is also well known for its breathtaking beauty.
