As per Khalilur Rahman Hazarika, the cow used to like biscuits so he named it 'Biscuit'. The chief priest of Shiva dol, Suresh Borthakur, said, "Today is an important day as it is the first Monday of the Assamese new year. There is no difference in religions in front of God. He is a Muslim and he requested me to help with the prayers. "

Earlier, Khalilur Rahman Hazarika had also given land to the establishment of Namghar to overcome the long-term shortage of the people of Meteka Seuj Nagar about two years ago. 

Shiva Dol has three Hindu temples – Sivadol, Vishnudol, and Devidol shrines – as well as a museum. These temples may be seen along the banks of the Sivasagar tank.

The Sivadol was built during the reign of the Ahom Kingdom. Shikhara architecture was used to construct the Sivadol or Shiva temple. It contains a central tower that is claimed to be India's highest Shiva temple tower which stands 104 feet tall.
