Assam Diaries #2 : Bordubi, Tinsukia - Tilinga Mandir| The Bell Temple | Travel Time #6

OMG, what is this! Bells, bells, bells everywhere, you know, the mandir wala bells, in copper, brass and aluminium, in sizes small as a pebble, others quite big and solid, weighing anything between 50 grams to 55 kg. Some rusty with time and the rains, others shining like gold in the sun. All stringed together in heaps from iron bars, creating, unintentionally, a sculptural bouquet, stunning you with a visual your eyes are not ready for. Not just these, there are thousands of others lying in the corner of the complex forming a metal mountain.
A visit to the well-known spiritually and mystically strong ancient temple of Assam.... Time for some Puja vibes!! Travel with me in the lesser visited area of Assam, the gateway of Seven Sister states.
How did this temple and the belief around it happen? The story goes that nearly half a century ago, in 1965, the tea garden workers noticed a black rock in the shape of Shiva Lingam emerging from the ground near a Banyan tree. It was unearthed and nestled among the roots of the peepal tree (banyan). Over the years, people have discovered its mysterious power: Make a wish and it will be granted. And when it is done, you show your appreciation by hanging a bell on the bars. People also present pigeons and tridents (trishuls).
