01 — The story

Deopani Durga Mandir is a Shakti temple of the goddess Durga on Asian Highway 1 at Borsewaguri, Bokajan, in Karbi Anglong district, Assam.

Its idol was excavated, together with other archaeological material, by the tea planter Surendra Nath Roy, known as Nunu Babu, on his family's Deopani Tea Estate, and the temple was set up a short distance from the spot where it was found. A good deal of archaeological material from the Deopani area has been recorded. A trust manages the temple, and its main celebration is the yearly Durga Puja.
