Billeswar Devalaya belongs to Belsor revenue village after the revenue settlement in 1960; however, the adjoining village Bilweswar is said to be the original one even in recent times. Besides the annuity from Government of Assam, the Devalaya has seen various infrastructural developments. Major part of the land was taken over by the government for distributing among the Paiks to whom various Devalaya activities are assigned resided there for centuries with the enforcement of The Assam State Acquisition of Lands Belonging to Religious or Charitable Institution of Public Nature Act, 1959. It exactly came into force on 18th March, 1963. (Gangopadhyay: 1990: 182183). The present land status of the Devalaya is as follows: Patta No:01 Dag Nos: 1524 (11 Bighas 13 Lechas-Main Campus of the Devalaya);1696 &2044(3 Bighas 4 Kathas 17 Lechas plus 2 Bighas 4 Kathas-Milan Silpi Sangha:2.5 Kathas & No:01 Belsor Primary School, Belsor) Dag:1596(7 Bighas 18 Lechas) covers a Market place, the office of the Fire Services, the Sub Registrar Office, the office of the Assam Tourism Development Corporation, the Inspection Bungalow etc. This land record, of Billeswar Devalaya was collected by me from Jiten Sarma-Lat Mandal, Belsor Revenue Village on 14th February, 2015.

The Ahom kings granted land to the Devalaya. The original area of land was 5250 Bigha. In addition to that 365 Bigha were Bhogdani Mati of which production was used for the Bhog of the Devalaya. Later on, it was reduced to 1420 Bighas 3 Kathas and 5 Lechas (Lakheraj) and 2461 Bighas 1 Katha 6 Lecha under different heads. 

The patronizing kings were: 

1. Naganka, 
2. Debeswara, 
3. Nagaksa, 
4. Prithu, 
5. Sandhya, 
6. Sindhurai, 
7. Simhadhaj, 
8. Pratapdhaj, 
9. Durlav Narayana, 
10. Nilambara, 
11. Naranarayana, 
12. Pratapsimha, 
13. Sivasimha. 

The kings belonged to the Louhitya, Koch, Ahom dynasties. At present times, the total lands possessed by the temple authority are only 25 Bighas. (Phukan: 2004: 291) Major partof the lands were distributed among the Bardeuris of the Devalaya and the Paiks. Their traditional activities related with the Devalaya have elevated the Devalaya as a cultural complex. Besides this, the continuation of faiths, unending ritualistic and traditional activities based on the religious culture has made the entire vicinity of the Devalaya, a sacred complex for ages till date. Basically the human behavior is being changed with a rapid pace due to the constant and consistent affiliation to the science and technology. These have greatly impacted upon human lives in every kind of aspects. So the traditional and ritualistic things are being changed in our society.

Though the existence of Billeswar Devalaya is supposed to be from 6^th century by king Nagakhya; however, it has been receiving changes continuously. Many more things are on the edge of extinction. But, still it is found to be a repository of extinct culture. Imposing a culture upon another community is considered to be cultural extinction. It implies the loss of languages, traditions. Info-tech has imported privileges to all classes of people to stay constantly connected with various things. It also allows us to interact across geographical borders. Despite its vehement stress, the Devalaya is standing against the erosion of beliefs and traditions by virtue of its sacredness and other features to serve the people of a greater locality.
