Malinithan Temple built in 14th-15th century is located at Likabali. Like a number of sacred places in the North Eastern region, Malinithan associates with the legends of Lord Krishna. It is believed that Lord Krishna and Rukmini reposed at this pristine place and they were greeted by Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati as guests. Pleased by the reception, Krishna addressed Parvati as Malini (wife of garden keeper) and thereafter the place began to be known as Malinithan. Excavated ruins includes sculpture of Indira and Airavata, Surya, Nandi Bull and Akashi-Ganga waterfalls, located 5 km from Malinithan, where people come for holy bath to away sins.
