History

The idol of the temple was brought by Ahom king Rudra Singha from the Jaintia hills of Meghalya to the Ahom kingdom in Assam. Later Ahom king Gaurinath Singha shifted the capital from Rangpur (Ahom capital) to Jorhat and established the Burhi Gosani Devalaya in Jorhat in the year 1794.[2][3][4][5][6] The main event of the temple is the annual Durga Puja celebrations.[7][8]
