Rudrasagar Siva Doul
ৰুদ্ৰসাগৰ শিৱদৌল
A tank and Shiva temple built by King Lakshmi Singha in memory of his father, one of the Ahom temple-and-tank complexes.
Rudrasagar Tank was dug in 1773 by King Lakshmi Singha in memory of his father, King Rudra Singha. The Shiva temple on its bank has a tall spire and Ahom-style brick carvings on its outer walls, and local devotees still worship there. It is smaller than the tanks at Sivasagar and Joysagar, and visitors are few. It suits travelers interested in the Ahom system of tanks paired with temples who want to see one more site. It lies about 8 km southwest of the town center and can be visited on the way to Gaurisagar.
