About

The Hajo Temple Complex at Hajo hill is a site of remarkable syncretic worship: atop the hill sits the Hayagriva Madhava temple (Vaishnava), and the same site is venerated by Buddhists as a spot where the Buddha attained enlightenment, and by some Muslims as a secondary Mecca. This confluence of three faiths is architecturally and spiritually unique in India.
