Malinithan

Malinithan is an archaeological site which consists of ruins of a Hindu temple of the early medieval period on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. The archaeological studies of the ruins indicate that the temple was built with granite stones during the period of Hinduism influence in the region. It was built by Chutia kings in the 13th-14th century. This was the period when the Chutia kings had started setting Brahmins in different areas of their kingdom offering them land grants.Kechai-Khaiti, a tribal goddess found among the Bodo-kachari groups is the chief deity who was worshipped in the ruined temple. The location of a narrow stream named Akashiganga similar to the site of Tamreswari and Bura-Buri Temples of Sadiya indicates that sacrifices were once performed in the temple. ()
