A 17th-century temple on a river island of the same name is dedicated to Shiva. It was built by Ahom king Gadapani on this picturesque Brahmaputra isle called Peacock Island. You can hop into a shared ferry/motorboat for ₹10 and return on the same or another boat free of charge, or reserve the entire boat for yourself. All shuttle boats leave from the KachariGhat between the Deputy Commisioner's office and the lower courts. The island is also a sanctuary for an endangered population of golden langurs which you can see from very close quarters. They have thrived on this uninhabited island chosen for their translocation from their last refuge in the Manas National Park. The island also has a Ganesh temple and is small enough to be explored on foot.
Dighalipukhuri derived its name from the word dighal which means long. The lake is believed to be dug by Bhagadutta, the king of Pragjyotishpura.

It is an old rectangular lake half a mile long originally engraved out from the Brahmaputra. Later, it was separated from the river when a portion was filled up.
