Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga, located at Dakini hill in Pmaohi near the National Highway in Guwahati. It is believed that Lord Shiva had incarnated here to destroy a demon called Bhimasura and protect his devotees. However, there is no actual temple here but instead there is a stream surrounding the Shiva Linga on a hill where one can observe a continuous flow of water flowing over the Linga. The road leading to the linga is very beautiful with hills, streams and bamboo grooves.
