Ashvakranta -Assam

 The Ashvakranta temple in Guwahati in Assam is an ancient one and is associated with the legend of Krishna slaying the demon Narakasura.It is believed that Ashvakranta is the site at which Krishna camped with his horses and army before he killed the demon Narakasura, hence the name Ashvakranta.

The temple enshrines an image of Krishna (Vishnu) in the Anantasayana or the reclining posture, where Vishnu is shown reclining on the serpent Adi Sesha, with Bhrahma seated on a lotus emanating from his navel. The four armed Vishnu is flanked by Mahalakshmi (or Mahamaaya) and the demons Madhu and Kaitabha.  Two rows of Naaga Kanyas are portrayed as worshipping Vishnu. (See also Indalur
