Religion is a part of the life of every community and a recognized form of the society that we must go through institutions. Form a religious point of view, Dergaon town and its nearby areas are inhabited by multi religious castes and tribes. There are various historical and mythical stories are associated to this place. Shaivism, Shaktism, and Vaishnavism under Hinduism are the major creeds, with Shaiviam is the oldest sect in this locality. Maheshwara Dewalaya or The Negheriting Temple is full of mysterious glory and had a recognized religious identity during the Ahom period. Gradually, the town has been converted to an urban center partially centering this temple. Negheriting Temple is basically an amalgamated temple of five deities. By this paper, it has been attempted to examine the historicity, interiorstructures and its managing accommodations of the Negheriting Temple.
