Singrijan Shiva Temple
Singrijan, Nagaland · Lord Shiva · Shiva Temple
Incredible India–listed Singrijan shrine on Dimapur’s outskirts, built around a self-manifested lingam narrative.
In Singrijan village on the outskirts of Dimapur, the Shiva Temple is listed on Incredible India as a riverside-hill shrine built by local residents in 1961 around a self-manifested lingam discovered near the Rangapahar forest belt — a stop for devotees seeking Lord Shiva’s presence away from the city centre.
History
Incredible India’s attraction copy records that villagers united to construct the temple in 1961 after folklore surrounding a stone that yielded liquid when cut — interpreted as a sign of Shiva and honoured as a miraculous lingam.
The same official listing places the shrine within Dimapur district’s spiritual map alongside Rangapahar Reserve Forest and Triple Falls, framing Singrijan as a faith destination on Nagaland’s gateway corridor.
