Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It’s one the archeological sites of Assam. The site is a hilly terrain where several rock-cut Shivalingas, votive stupas and the Hindu deities.Buddhist and Jain pantheon are scattered in an area of about one km. A must visit place if you like art and is inclined towards religion.

If there could be an example of cultural masterpiece which has not been recognised for its treasure vale, it is Sri Surya Pahar. I had wished to be there for long but as it required at least half day free, I got a chance only a few days ago. A place which could be sacred to the Hindus, Jains ad Buddhist, it is this place. In terms of its value, it can be at par with any place in the world. Unfortunately not much known, not much visited.
Sri Surjya Pahar is situated at the banks of Brahmaputra, at Assam and is 132 km down northwest side of Guwahati. The sacred Sri Surya Pahar is a stretch of shivlingas expanding up to a kilometer. The lingas are said to be formed by boulder and big rocks. It is believed that there are 99999 lingas, engraved by Krishna Dvaipayana or commonly known as Ved Vyasa to make it a replica of Kashi or second Kashi. This unexplored place has minutely detailed design of houses and the bricks built with it, which are of great archaeological importance.
Sri Surjya Pahar is open to all religion without discrimination of caste, creed and sex. It merges three religions together with its myriad scriptures and antiques of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.
As per Hindu religion Sri Surjya Pahar is believed to be a slab of a carved stone correlated to Surya. The inner center of the carved stone was spotted as prajapati’ whereas the outer has been identified as twelve lotus petals. As per the Jains there remains nothing except for the footprints of the Rishabhanath followers. But in Buddhist remains differently shaped and sized 25 stupas have been found.
Archaeologists discovered as many as 173 sculptures out of which 93 are on display in galleries. The opening hour to the museum is 10 am -5 pm with no entry fee.

So silent and scenery near to this place is too good and like to stay here for more than 3 hours. I really feel fresh air coming from mountains and trees.

As a foreign tourist I feel obliged to write a review about how serene and majestic this ancient place is.
It's easy to navigate and the Shivlings and stupas carved into the granite rock are amazing.
I stayed for hours relishing the tranquil atmosphere, listening to the birds sing and the monkeys screech. It can get a bit hot though
Good food is available near the monuments here also.
I stayed in hotel moon moon in Gaolpara for the most reasonable room rate I've paid in India.

It is the only place in the north east with so many Shiva- lingas. It is probably the only place in Assam with Jain deities including Mahavira

Situated on the hill on Sri Surya this site is strewn with Shiva lingas.This place is considered to be a natural art gallery of Shiva Lingas. This is a must see destination for the whole family, especially if you are interested in history.

Very calm and silent place to come in the morning for a walk or sightseeing. You need to carry water here and some food items as you may feel hungry after walking a bit at this place.

A few hours away from Guwahati, this place has got some stone sculptures. Unfortunately, the place is not well maintained and is deteriorating day by day.
Won't recommend visiting.
