Once lush greenery, the Subukia National Shrine has been a destination of pilgrims from far and wide, who thronged it for spiritual nourishment.
The chirping birds and fresh air made the pilgrimage peaceful, quiet and serene.
But everything is not right at the shrine, one of the largest in the country.
