The earthen lamp in Dhekiakhowa
Bornamghar (Namghar is a place of worship in Assam), which was established
by Saint-Reformer Madhavdeva and situated near Jorhat, has been burning for
484 years continuously, since its first kindling in 1428(1450 saka) by
the revered saint himself. The priests of the Namghar religiously re-fuel
the earthen lamp to keep it burning continuously.
