Church
NEVER নামঘৰ — this is the specific Ekasarana Dharma prayer-house institution (Sankardev’s congregational innovation, itself historically a genuine functional parallel to a congregation, but a distinct religious institution). Never মন্দিৰ (Hindu temple, image-centered). মণ্ডলী is the established Assamese Christian term for the local congregation.
