Pari Hareswar Devalaya is located in the holy town of Dubi, which is also known as Bajali subdivision of Shiva Singha, the Ahom king. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is believed to be constructed during the ancient period. Constructed by Shiva Singha, the temple is situated on a granted land measuring about 760 Puras, which is stated on the copper plate preserved at the temple.

The king also donated an image of Goddess Durga for enhancing the beauty of the temple. It is believed that the Queen Fuleswari, wife of Shiva Singha, brought Devadasis, the temple dancers from Upper Assam, to the temple during the celebrations of a holy festival. The famous dance form named Devadasi Nritya is believed to be originated at this temple.
