Tamreswari Temple

The stone inscription found in the temple reads:[20]“Shiv-Charan-Prasadat VridharajatanYa-Sri-Srimata-Mukta DharmanarayanaShri shrimati Digaravasini IchtakaDi-Virchit-Prakara-NivaddhaKrit Agrahainike Saka 1364” The inscription describes that the walls of the temple have been built using bricks (Ichtaka) by the son Mukta Dharmanarayan of the old king (name not specified) in the Saka year 1364 (1442 AD).

[21] The roof of the Tamresari temple was originally sheeted with copper as mentioned in the Changrung Phukan Buranji (1711 AD), from which the name is derived.

As per T.Block who visited the site in 1905, this square structure in the corner cannot have been the main building inside the complex and the brick wall evidently enclosed some sort of a grand temple in the center which has disappeared with time.

The ruins of the gateway which remains include the lintel carved on the edge in a chain of lotus flowers, some ornamented small pillars and an elephant statue.

There was another stone gateway at the southeast corner leading to the stream, in the bed of which are several carved and plain blocks of granite and sandstone.

In the floods of 1959, due to deposit of silt in the banks of Paya river the structure was completely submerged in the waters.
