It is located at Bosa Gaon, Golaghat, Assam where the three rivers - Ghiladhari, Matrang and Kakodonga meet.

[1][3] According to Axom buronji or "the history of Assam", the Ahom kings, leaving those who knew systematic farming, to engage in expansion based farming, started the paik system.

[2] So, according to that, a Kachari king established a Hori Mandir or Shiva temple at the place to worship.

According to folk sources, the temple reappeared after rituals conducted by a sage.

Also, an idol of Shiva has been found in a tea garden, about 5 to 7 kilometres (3.1 to 4.3 mi) away.

[8] After Swargadeo Loraroja, illegally ascended to the throne of the Ahom empire, Gadapani Kowar or Godadhor Singha, in disguise, roamed at the hills.

It is said that the soldiers of loraroja, in search of Gadapani reached there, but as there were too many trees, and the path was full of spider-webs, they didn't expect to find any human there and went back.

[2][3] With time, that mandir or temple turned into a namghar, due to the influence of Vaishnavism.

Golaghat city is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) away from the centre and it takes about 40 minutes by bus to reach Sri Sri Athkhelia namghar from Golaghat city.
