(শ্ৰী সূৰ্য পাহাৰ) A hillock located near the banks of the Brahmaputra river, about 12kms from Goalpara town on the Debapara Road towards Sainik School Goalpara & Dudhnoi.
Sri Surya Pahar, a confluence of the three religions of Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism, is a treasure trove of ancient monuments.
Sri Surya Pahar was the place of worship of Surya - the Sun God. It was one of the two places where Surya was worshiped in ancient Assam.
According to popular belief, 99999 Shiva Lingas were engraved here by sage Vyasa to make it a second Kashi. There are still hundreds of Shiva Lingas scattered all over the hill particularly at the foot of the hill.
The only place in the North-East of India where the remains of Jainism can be found, there is a carving of Adinath - the 1st Tirthankara of the Jains. There are also other Jain carvings all of which date back to 9th century A.D. These carvings were done by the followers of Adinath or Rishabhanath.
The Buddhist architecture can be seen particularly in the north-eastern side of the hill with as many as 25 stupas from the 9th century A.D.
The hillock is also the abode of some rare primates like the Golden Langur.
