Dibrugarh in Assam is known to be visited by many tourists from all over the country; among the many places to see here the most visited one is the Koli Aai Thaan. This is one of the oldest thaans belonging to the Ahom period. This religious site is dedicated to the daughter of the chief priest of Dibaru Satra of the state of Assam. His daughter’s name was Koli Aai and thus this thaan derived its name Koli Aai Thaan. As the satra had no male heir, Koli Aai continued to keep this religious site alive in the minds of the people. She started preaching many principles and ideals that touched the minds of the followers. It is believed that she had magical powers and one day Koli Aai vanished from the town and left behind many disciples who strongly believed in the values she had imbibed in them. This holy site is still considered to be very pious by the people living here and there are no temples or idols to be worshipped here.
