The Negheriting Shiva Doul(নেঘেৰিটিং শিৱ দৌল ) is a Shiva temple at Dergaon in Assam, India.[1] Situated on a hillock[1][2] at about one and half km north from the National Highway 37 in the Golaghat district of Assam, the temple was first constructed by the Dimasa Kacharis during 8th – 9th century CE. Later due to natural calamities it came into destruction.[2][3] In 1765 it was re-constructed by Ahom king Swargadeo Rajeswar Singha.[1][2][3][4] The famous architect assigned to the job was Ghanashyam Khonikar.[1][4]
