Sri Surya Pahar is a significant archaeological site in Assam, known for its numerous rock-cut Shivalingas and other religious artifacts. It is often referred to as the "second Kashi" due to the high concentration of Shivalingas, reminiscent of the holy city of Kashi (Varanasi). Legend states that Vyasa engraved 99,999 Shiva Lingas here, aiming to create a second Kashi (where there are 100,000).
