A Visit To Dwarkamai (Guwahati-Shilong Road)


My Recommendation for People travelling to Dwarkamai from  PaltanBajar (Guwahati) for a Quick Darshan  will be to take a auto

The temple is  beautiful carved and gives a glimpse of Sai Baba in the temple.I visited this place this year, on the day of Shivratri, and major preparations were being put in place for hunders of people. I wanted to stop on the way and take some photos, but the suggestion was vetoed by the others, who wanted to reach Dwarkamai as fast as possible. It turned out to be a good decision, since we had the best darshan EVER!!!!! We reached at 10:45 AM .The journey was indeed unbecoming and it keeps a green & lasting memory in my mind.I advice you to visit this holy pilgrimage.
