Hey friend your answer is here
In the year 1768, the ninth Mayamora Vaishnavite Saint and Sattradhikar of erstwhile Sutiapata Sattra, Sri Sri Astabhuj Dev, had decided to shift the monastery from Sutiapata to a place less threatened by the Brahmaputra to a place presently known as Borbheti and located in the heart of Malow Pathar. As per wish of the Saint, a water body was selected, which was the deepest in that locality i.e. 36 feet deep in summer. Accordingly, eight lakh disciples of Mayamora Vaishnavite sect of Assam were invited to construct a platform/raised bed of earth/plinth for a namghar in that 36 feet deep water body in the autumn season of 1768. After ceremonial prayer, Sri Sri Astabhuj Dev had deposited a piece of earth by chanting Ram, which was followed by his 8 lakh followers. It was allowed to deposit only one piece of earth by each individual by chanting Ram and the piece was to be carried in his turban. Thus a great raised earthen bed of 360X120 square feet in area and of 90 feet height was created within six months. This was known as the Borbheti, Mahabheti as well as Ratna Giriri. A Namghar or Kirtan Ghar was built there and for seven days devotees performed nam kirtan and the last night was celebrated by playing a Bhaona, Kansha Badh.
