The Maniharan Tunnel in Silchar, is one of the most popular
destinations in the area, amongst tourists and pilgrims alike. The
tunnel lies around 5 km away from the famous
Bhubaneswar Temple, and
according to popular beliefs, it was used by Lord Krishna a long
time ago.
The tunnel, which lies atop the holy river Tribeni, also has the
famous Maniharan temple in its premises which is dedicated to Lord
Krishna. Bhuvan Hill is nearly 5 km from the tunnel.
There is another small
temple just above the tunnel which is dedicated to Lord Rama,
Lakshmana, Garura and Lord Hanumana. Main festivals celebrated here
are Holi, Baruni, Diljatra and Shivratri during which the temple is
heavily visited. |
