Sri Sri Gopinath Mandir
Sri Sri Gopinath Mandir is a Krishna temple in the old riverside quarter of Silsakoo, North Guwahati, on the south bank of the Brahmaputra. The name Gopinath — "lord of the gopis" — points to its presiding deity, Lord Krishna, and visitors describe it as one of the most beautiful and most-visited places of worship in this part of the city, and a sacred spot for the Vaishnava faithful. What lingers with most people is its calm, devotional atmosphere: a handsome temple gate, a spacious compound open to the main road, the sound of hymns and aarti, and a much-loved kheer prasad. It also anchors an easy visit to historic North Guwahati, where stone bridges, tanks and several other temples cluster within a short walk.
