Madan Kamdev, Guwahati Overview
Madan Kamdev, on a low hill near Baihata Chariali on Guwahati's outskirts, is a ruined temple complex often called the "Khajuraho of Assam" for its stone carvings depicting erotic and tantric imagery, in a style that recalls the better-known temples of Madhya Pradesh. The site is associated in local tradition with Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love, and is believed to date to the early medieval period, though much of what stands today is broken sculpture and scattered ruins rather than an intact structure. Ongoing archaeological work has uncovered additional carvings and structural fragments over the years, and the site now functions as both a heritage curiosity and a modest pilgrimage stop, drawing far smaller crowds than Kamakhya despite the shared regional mythology.
