Kachasila Hill Morigaon

 

Kachasila is a hill in the Morigaon district of Assam. The hill is situated quite close to the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a well known tourist spot of the district. On top of the Kachasila Hill, there is a temple which belongs to 9th Century A.D and therefore has historical value, apart from religious significance. The temple has statues of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati, and in the temple complex there are a number of sculptures of the elephant god Lord Ganesha, who, according to the Hindu mythology is the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The statues have immense artistic value and many tourists come to the place to have a look at them. There are a few hotels, where the tourists can put up in this area.
