building of a pre-historic Shiva Mandir at Dhalpur area of Sipajhar revenue circle in Darrang district. He also inaugurated the guest house and Pujari-Griha along with the temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. During his first visit to Dhalpur after becoming CM, Sarma assured that he would help in creating a permanent structure of the temple and fulfilling his promise he dedicated it to the devotees.
“I really feel blessed to have got the opportunity to inaugurate the pre-historic Shiva Mandir at Dhalpur along with a guest house and Pujari-Griha,” said Sarma after offering Puja to Maheswar and prayed for the well-being of all sections of people in the State.
