Aswaklanta Temple

Aswaklanta Temple is in Kamrup district of Assam in India. It is situated on the bank of the river Brahmaputra at Aswaklanta.The place derives its name from a mythological story. It is said when Lord Krishna was pursuing Narakasura, his horse got tired in this place (Aswa-klanta).

The present temple was constructed by king Siva Singha in 1720 A.D. There are two big temples here.

Formally there was a Kunda, a place of sacrifice, near the temple. Now this Kunda does not exist because it was eroded by the river Brahamputra.

Inside this temple, there are two images one of Janardana and the other of Anantasai Vishnu. The later is a fine art specimen of eleventh century. There is also a stone inscription on the body of the temple.
