Hazo, a village in Kamrup district, is about fourteen miles to the northwest of Gauhati. It was a great centre of culture and learning and served as the camp of the Mohammadans during there invasions of Assam and was included in the Koc king-dom. It is now one of the important centres of Community Development. There is an excellent bus service to Hazo from Gauhati. There are no good hotels or rest-house at Hazo and therefore the visitor has to halt at Gauhati itself. Hazo is an important pilgrimage centre for the people of three religions - Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist. There are two temples at Hazo, the Haya- griva Madhava temple and the Kedaresvara temple, of which the temple of Hayagriva Madhava figures more prominently in the religi6us history of Assam. The existence of this temple attests to the prevalence of Vaisnavism in Kamarupa.
