Sivasagar: A Walk Through 600 years

An edited version of this article on Sivasagar was published in the July-August issue of Discover India’s NE Magazine . __________________

The prince was not happy. Internal politics and incessant conflicts were weighing him down and he was losing interest in ruling the land of his birth. Eventually, he decided to leave that land with a powerful army and move southwards to build his own destiny and his own free kingdom. Thus began the epic journey of Chao-lung Sukapha, from Yunnan to Upper Assam via Myanmar and Patkai Hills. On his arrival, he was so delighted by the sight of the fecund plains from the hills that he ended up calling this land the “Golden Casket” and established the Ahom Kingdom in 1228 AD that lasted for 600 years till the arrival of the British.

This is the basic history that everyone in Assam learns in school. This is also why the city of Sivasagar occupies an important position in the history of Assam as most of the major Ahom settlements were located in and around Sivasagar. After my Majuli trip, I decided to quickly cover this town also because it was not really far. My original idea was to return to Jorhat and look for a bus but locals told me to wait on the highway, somewhere between Nimatighat and Jorhat, instead of entering Jorhat again. They were actually right and I soon got a bus and reached Sivasagar in an hour or so. As my bus entered the town, I started noticing one monument after another that reminded me of numerous “Heritage Walks” in Delhi. If there was one place in Assam that has enough preserved heritage to facilitate a heritage walk, it is Sivasagar although I don’t think anybody conducts that right now. So, I decided to go for a heritage tour around Sivasagar on my own.

The earliest important settlement of the Ahoms was that of Charaideo (Che-Rai-Doi), which roughly means a “town on the foothill of the mountains” in Tai language. This was Sukapha’s first capital and my first destination of this tour. Charaideo is around 30 KMs from Sivasagar and I underestimated the distance. The bus took forever to reach and the road wasn’t particularly smooth either. It was beginning to get dark already but on a positive note, the site seemed to have been repaired and beautified recently. So, it was good to find an archaeological site in Assam in a decent shape. The only things left here nowadays are the “maidams” or tombs of the kings. Originally there were around 150 of them spread around a vast area but now 30 of them have been protected by the ASI while the rest of them have been vandalized or looted already.

These protected maidams are located atop a small hillock furnished with a newly built staircase and a couple of cannons. As I reached the top, a series of hemispherical mounds appeared. These were basically earthen mounds with no opening but finally I reached a larger one that did have a stone gateway. It actually looked like the homes of the Hobbits from the world of Tolkien but in practice, they were closer to the pyramids as many valuable items and even living beings were believed to have been buried with the dead king to help him in his afterlife. For those who would like to know more about Sukapha, a shiny new museum has been built nearby and evocatively named as “Yunnan to Patkai to Che-Rai-Doi”, describing his epic journey.

Shivadol and Borpukhuri

So, my first day was spent on Charaideu and I barely had another day to cover the rest of the attractions but thankfully most of them were within the city itself. So, the next morning I decided to wake up early to make the most of the short winter day. The first stop was Shivadol or Sivadol (pronounced more like “Xibo Doul” in Assamese but I don’t think you will get it right if you were not born here), the central point of the city located on the banks of the eponymous Sivasagar tank (Also called Borpukhuri meaning the Big Tank), a large man-made lake that also attracts a lot of birds. It was only 7 AM but since it is a live temple, it was already up and running, full of morning devotees as well as agnostic morning walkers.

The Shivadol was constructed in 1734 AD by Ambika, the Queen of Siba Singha. It is basically a 104 feet tall dome with a mandapa (outdoor hall) leading to the sanctum sanctorum. Another interesting aspect of the temple is the golden “Kalasi” or vase at the top. Apparently, the original one was made of pure gold but it was too valuable for its own good and attracted a lot of unwanted attention. Eventually the British managed to bring it down for the gold. The current one is a gold-plated replica.

The complex has a couple of smaller temples too, called Vishnudol and Devidol, both following the same structure. All three of them have some intricate sculptures on the walls. What is interesting is that Vishnudol was dedicated to the neo-vaishnavite sects while the Devidol catered to the traditional Sakta sects worshipping the goddess. That was actually a period of schism between these two sects and I had only read about endless conflicts between them. But this seemed to be an effort at reaching a compromise and building a more syncretic society that survives till this date.

Read my detailed Sivadol Post here .

After Shivadol, I quickly walked towards Rang Ghar. If there is one iconic, instantly recognizable monument in Assam apart from the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, that is the Rang Ghar. Locals take immense pride in it as the oldest Amphitheater in Asia. I could not exactly verify this claim but there is no doubt about its grandeur. There is a replica of it in Guwahati and one more in Surajkund near Delhi. It is hard to imagine any other monument in Assam inspiring so much imitation.

Built in 1744 by Pramatta Singha, it is basically a two-storied building with a recently renovated and beautified compound. The unique shape of the building is believed to have been inspired by the shape of the Ahom longboats, something that must have served them well in the numerous battles with the Mughals. There are a couple of newly minted dragons atop the entry gate. They used to be the emblem of Ahom dynasty, and a testimony of its oriental origins. From a distance, the walls with multiple arches looked plain except for the top but as I inched closer, some really interesting sculptures appeared, including apes, crocodiles, and some other animals beyond my wildest imagination.

It was built as a pavilion from where the King celebrated various festivals and watched games such as bullfight, elephant fight, cockfight etc. None of these games will be politically correct in this day and age but nevertheless, I climbed up to the upper floor and tried to imagine the same for a while. The view of the vast garden on the compound from the top reminded me of numerous Mughal monuments. In spite of the bitter wars, the Mughals must have given new ideas to the Ahom builders too.

Talatal Ghar

My next stop was Talatal Ghar, which was a short walk from Rang Ghar. I also passed by a smaller building called Gola Ghar or Khar Ghar (Ammunition Depot) that was looking pretty amidst the paddy fields.

Now, the Talatal Ghar, built over decades by many kings and completed in 1769, is something that I have always had a deep fascination for. In its original form, it was a majestic, seven storied building with four floors above ground and three below the ground. It was built like a maze so that the enemy got lost in those alleys in case they managed to sneak in. There were a couple of secret tunnels to be used as escape routes in case of any eventuality. Sadly, most of these things can no longer be experienced now. All that remains is basically one floor with a very irregular geometry that is hard to describe. The upper floors were apparently made of wood and so they did not withstand the test of time. One can see the stairs leading to the underground compartments but it is longer safe to go that way and you can’t do much apart from using your imagination.

Joydol and Joysagar

Five minutes of walk from Talatal Ghar brought me to Joydol on the bank of Joysagar Tank, another beautiful manmade lake. Both of these were constructed by Rudra Singha (1696-1714) in memory of his mother Joymoti, who sacrificed her life to save her husband and his father. For those who care about unrelated trivia, Joymati was also the subject of the first-ever Assamese feature film Joymoti (1935). The temple again follows the same structure of Sivadol although it is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The most interesting part of the temple are the sculptures on the walls. It surely had the Devi sculptures and floral motifs that I saw in the other monuments too. But it also had scenes, most probably depicting warfare. One slab even had people riding on camels, the last animal I expected to see anywhere in Assam. Probably these are a depiction of the invading armies from the west.

Kareng Ghar, Garhgaon

My last remaining monument for the day was Kareng Ghar in Garhgaon. It was 14 KMs away from the town on the same route as that of Charaideo. But the previous day I could not visit it as it got dark very quickly. So, I found a shared van going that way and reached Garhgaon, which also used to be the capital of the Kingdom for several centuries. What is now left of the original city is a multi-storied palace called Kareng Ghar built in 1752 by Rajeshwar Singha. However, even before that, there used to be a wooden palace at the center of a lively walled city surrounded by a moat that even finds mention in Mughal accounts.

This building, somewhat reminiscent of Mesoamerican pyramids, is still in good shape and it is possible to reach the top of the building climbing up the stairs, something I promptly did. From the top, I could see remnants of pillars on the lower floors. I think this pyramidal shape might have been a result of decay rather than design.

So, my quick Sivasagar trip ended here in Garhgaon. What was interesting in all these monuments is that they all seem to have been constructed around the same period. Older Ahom structures were mostly made of wood and they did not survive. By the start of the 18th century, having comprehensively routed the Mughals after several decades of conflict , the kingdom was enjoying a period of dominance and prosperity. They must have also become aware of the structures elsewhere in India and also they had developed the technology to build lasting structures that could withstand the humid weather of the Brahmaputra Valley. According to some old accounts, they used a very ingenious concoction of sticky rice, eggs, certain types of fish, and other local ingredients as mortar to hold the massive stone slabs together.

It is also noteworthy that these construction activities reached their peak during the final stages of the Kingdom. At that time it might have looked like the pinnacle of civilization but the Ahom Kingdom collapsed within 50 years. This is not too different from the Mughals, who built some of the greatest monuments in India but their peak too did not last long. Ahoms fought many bitter wars with the Mughals and the Assamese regionalist movements have always been driven by the fact that they defeated back the formidable Mughals many times unlike most other parts of India. However, there were cultural exchanges too, as is evident in some of these constructions.

There were still a few smaller monuments that I could not visit, mostly temples scattered in and around the city but I had no time left. Still, it was a very satisfactory experience for me because I have always rued the lack of massive archaeological complexes in Assam and the poor preservations efforts of the ones that exist. The heritage of Sivasagar seemed better maintained compared to any other heritage site in Assam and I can only hope that the same is done for other sites too. __________ Reaching Sivasagar: It is easily accessible from Guwahati through bus and train, nearest Airport is Jorhat Stay: Many Hotels of various budgets around the bus stand. The train station is also not far. Tickets: 15 Rs for Indians and 200 Rs for foreigners in most monuments

पत्ते पर किया गया जीवंत चित्रण आश्चर्य जनक है। सैकड़ों वर्ष बाद भी ऐसा लग रहा है जैसे आज बनाया हो।

What a wonderful hidden gem! It makes me so sad when things so important to a countries history get damaged, or are lost to time. That would have been SO FUN to be able to explore the secret passageways and the tunnels there. Maybe one day someone can fund a restoration and keep up this integral part of history.

Sivasagar has certainly been kept alive by the people there and by your post! Loved the photos and the info.

This area called Ahom is amazing! I can’t believe there are all these temples, monuments, and pyramids in one place! The history behind it is so interesting, and reminds you of the rich heritage of your country. I won’t pretend to remember all the names, but your photos really capture the beauty

So interesting, the buildings, the rituals-of-the-age and all. It was fascinating to learn about the burial places for royalty, the amphitheater, and the building with 3 floors underground. Wow! It is totally beyond repair?

It feels like I visited another age. Thank you J. Great post.

And are those ‘terracotta’ cannons up there? They look so artistic.

Great to read your post. Very informative. Thank you so much for sharing pics, Amazing.

I was never knowing about history of Sivasagar. It looks like an offbeat destination with many beautiful palaces and historical buildings. I loved the sculptures on wall, though they are somewhat destroyed and hopefully some restoration work must be done here to preserve such a historic place.

Wow I didnt know anything about this region, so thank you or sharing so much history! Your photo with the birds is stunning! There is so much in one place! What a great adventure. Thanks for sharing the info!

Great post! I think Shivadol is def a place I would love to visit, and the image of the palace on the river bed is breathtaking. I like how you included the stories and history, this kind of blog stories make travel just more intriguing!

I love this article. There is soo much history to be seen here. M favourite is The Talatal Ghar. I can only imagine how amazing this was when it was fully restored. Nice read.

All the information and the places themself look so promising. Being and indian mtself I feel.sad that I havent been able to visit all these places yet or even heard about them. But this amazing post of yours definitely encounters me with these awesome places that I would definitely check out 1 day ! Oh and i love all your pictures.

Being an Assamese girl, I can relate to each word mentioned here. I visited these places long back during my school days. I still remember spending a fair amount of time exploring all these places in Sivasagar. My most favorite is Rang Ghar. I wish that Assam government takes important initiatives to promote the state more efficiently so that the rest of the world can also see what Assam can offer to them 🙂

Sivasagar – The Heritage Capital of Assam

As a tour operator for Northeast India, we believe that a trip to Assam is incomplete without visiting Sivasagar. It was one of the five erstwhile capital of the Ahom kingdom of Assam which testifies its glorious past and magnificent heritage.

This town is bestrewed with the archaeological sites of the Ahom dynasty. It will captivate your senses with its century-old amphitheater, water tanks, well-preserved temples and palace ruins. Not to forget the verdant tea estates and the sunset in Burha-Dhing river that makes it a perfect destination for a soulful trip.

Recently the Government of India has announced that the Sivasagar will be made an iconic destination for holistic tourism development. In our blog, you will learn about what makes this town so fabled and fabulous.

Why Sivasagar is known as the “Heritage Capital of Assam”?

Architectural heritage of sivasagar.

In ancient times Sivasagar was once known as Rongpur. Established by the King Sukhrungphaa or Swargadeo Rudra Singha (Hindu name) in 1707, it was the fourth capital of the great Ahom kingdom. Under his regime, Sivasagar has witnessed the most glorious period of the Ahom dynasty.

The king was very instrumental in developing the cultural and architectural prowess of Rangpur, the present-day Sivasagar. During this time, mammoth man-made water tanks, palaces and temples were constructed around his capital.

Such monuments can be described as an amalgam of various cultures, traditions and religious influences. You will find distinct architectural styles ranging from domes and arches inspired by Mughal architecture to huge shikhara which are also the key elements of traditional Hindu architecture.

Over time, they even developed the technique of making organic cement by using eggs, fish, molasses, pulses and lime due to which their structures are still very strong and earthquake resistant.

An archaeologist, Mr. Milan Kumar Chauley in his journal ‘ Ahom Monuments – An Architectural Marvel (New Perspective) ’ has also mentioned that:

“ As whole of Northeast falls in highly seismic zone, in the last 500 years at least 14 big earthquakes are recorded to have taken place in Assam (Hazarika 1990: 32-33) (The earthquakes took place in the years 1548, 1598, 1601, 1642, 1660, 1696, 1732, 1759, 1770, 1838, 1842, 1875, 1897, 1950). This very fact gives an insight into the fact that the Ahoms very judiciously used the available resources for making their structures earthquake resistant. This is evident from the fact that the extant monuments at Sivsagar have withstood at least 8 to 9 earthquakes including the last i.e. 1950, Which is believed to be one of the world’s most devastating earthquakes; when even the Assam type houses collapsed in that area, the Ahom monuments have withstood them with minor damages. ”

Imagine how advanced were the Ahoms in the matter of science and art of architecture which made their monuments hold out against earthquakes to exude the saga of their illustrious past.

Cultural Heritage of Sibsagar

Initially, the Ahom clan who migrated from the Mong Mao province of Southern China used to follow a religion based on ritual oriented ancestor worship. Later Swargadeo Rudra Singha embraced Hinduism and over the time other religions too flourished in his capital. He also adopted Assamese as an official language of the Ahom kingdom.

The Ahom rulers were also a strong proponent of sports, dance and music. The king commissioned the construction of ‘Rang Ghar’ (a house of entertainment) in 1747 AD which is now believed to be one of the oldest surviving amphitheatres in Asia. It was at this place where Bihu was fostered as a cultural identity of Assam .

Sibsagar was once a majestic city and it has witnessed some of the most remarkable transitions in the cultural history of Assam. From archaeology to culture it speaks loud about the deeds of the great Ahom rulers who shaped the future of the Brahmaputra Valley. Such illustrious past and intangible splendours make Sivasagar the heritage capital of Assam.

Places of Interest around Sivasagar Town

Sibsagar Tank and Group of Temples: Sivasagar has been named after the town’s main attraction, the Sibsagar tank/ Borpukhuri (in Assamese) surrounded by its three Hindu temples. It is an architectural masterpiece that stands at a higher elevation than the rest of the town. There is a lot more for travellers in this heritage city to explore.

Located at the heart of the town, it is a large manmade water tank which is considered to be one of the oldest structures in all of Assam. Commissioned by Queen Ambika (the wife of King Sutanphaa or Swargadeo Shiva Singha, the eldest son of Swargadeo Rudra Singha) in 1734 AD, Sibsagar tank highlights the advanced hydrology skills of the Ahom period. It is built on an area of 257 acres and the depth of water is 27 feet. Interestingly, the water level of the tank never changes at any time of the year and even in the monsoon season.

Sibsagar tank is surrounded by a cluster of temples known as Siva Dol (temple dedicated to Lord Shiva), Vishnu Dol (Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu) and Devi Dol (Temple dedicated to goddess Durga) and a Tai Ahom museum. Sivadol is also the tallest of all Shiva temples in India.

During the winter season, a lot of migratory birds also take shelter in the Sibsagar tank and a watchtower is located on the eastern bank of the tank.

Rang Ghar: This double-storeyed building is considered as one of the oldest surviving amphitheatre and sports pavilion in Asia. In Assamese language, Rang Ghar means a “House of Entertainment”. Here the Ahom kings and their nobles used to watch buffalo fights, cockfights and other sports and dance forms, particularly during the Rongali Bihu festival.

It was first built under the reign of Swargadeo Rudra Singha with bamboo and wood and later it was rebuilt by King Sunenphaa or Swargadeo Pramatta Singha (youngest son of Swargadeo Rudra Singha) between 1744-1750 AD. The building displays a typical Ahom architecture which consists of an oval amphitheatre with a roof in the shape of an inverted Ahom longboat. Thin bricks and organic cement were used to keep the interior cool throughout the year.

Talatal Ghar: Talatal Ghar in the Assamese language means an underground home. It was commissioned by Swargadeo Rudra Singha in 1698 AD and it happened to be the military base of the Ahom kingdom. Till date, it is considered the largest of all the Ahom architecture.

Talatal Ghar has three floors below ground level and two secret tunnels which were used as exit routes by the royal family in case of any distress. It is situated close to Rang Ghar and Joysagar Tank and nowadays only the upper portion of the monument is accessible to the tourist. The floors below the ground are sealed off.

Jaysagar Tank: You will be surprised to know that Jaysagar tank is the largest manmade tank in India covering an area of 318 acres. Jaysagar was built by Swargadeo Rudra Singha in the memory of his mother, Jaymati. It is said that this huge pond was excavated in just 45 days if this speculation is true then imagine how advanced were the Ahoms in hydrology even in that era.

The sunset from Jaysagar is magnificent! Book a table at the ‘ Heritage Jaysagar ’ to adore an immaculate view of the setting sun where the whole landscape blooms in the shades of red and orange. There is even a cluster of temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, and Lord Ganesha to name a few.

The most famous amongst all is the temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu known as ‘Kesavanarayan Vishnudol’ or ‘Jaydol’. Known for its architectural artistry, Vishnudol is the largest temple built by the king in an adaptation of a unique ‘Nilachala Style’ of architectural design. This design first was used by the Koch King Naranarayana to rebuild the Kamakhya temple in Guwahati in 1562 AD. These are the only two temples in the world using the Nilachala style of architecture.

Kareng Ghar: Little away from the Sivasagar town at a distance of just 15 km is the formidable Kareng Ghar, also known as the Garhgaon Palace. Gargaon used to be the kingdom’s capital for more than four centuries before shifting it to Rangpur. The Kareng Ghar is the last remains of the royal palace of Ahom rulers in Gargaon and is the grandest monument that they have ever made.

It is a four-storeyed building with gradually receding floors. It is believed that there is a secret underground tunnel from ‘Kareng Ghar’ to ‘Talatal Ghar’ in Sivasagar across the river Dikhow.

Charaideo: Almost 30 km away from the Sivsagar town remains the sacred burial mounds of Ahom kings and queens at a place called Charaideo. This place portrays the symbol of Ahom power and it is also the place of ancestral Gods of the Ahom. In Tai Ahom language Charaideo means ‘the shining city on the hills’ and it is the first capital of the Ahom kingdom founded by King Chao Lung Sui-Ka-Pha in 1253.

Ajan Pir Dargah: About 22 km from Sibsagar town at Sonpura, Gargaon lies the revered Ajan Pir Dargah dedicated to a great Muslim reformer and a Sufi saint Shah Miran. He got the name as Ajan Fakir because of his style of chanting Azan, the calling for ‘namaz’. He migrated from Baghdad to India in the 17th century and later settled in Sivasagar. He was the disciple of Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya and stressed in love as a means of realising God.

Ajan Pir is well known for his Zikir (a type of spiritual song) that helped reform, and stabilize Islam in Assam. The mausoleum was commissioned by King Supatphaa or Swargadeo Gadadhar Singha after his death. It is a divine place and you will feel a sense of inner peace.

Panidihing Wildlife Sanctuary: This bird sanctuary is just 22 km from the Sivsagar town. Spread over 33.93 square kilometer, it is surrounded by the Brahmaputra and the Dishang river in the northwest and to the south. There are about 270 species of birds including 70 migratory birds have been recorded in Pani Dighing. It is a must-visit place for a wildlife photographer travelling in Sivasagar.

Dichang Mukh: Nestled on the confluence of Rivers Dichang and Brahmaputra, Dichang Mukh is a scenic Mishing tribe village situated about 10 km from Sivsagar town. This riverine settlement is an upcoming village tourism destination in Assam which portrays the true cultural essence of the Mishing people. The traditional houses made on stilts, the rural ambience and simple lifestyle offer an immersive experience to the visitors. The view of the sunset from Dichang Mukh is a great place to watch the sun vanish into pristine waters. Ethnic lunch with a local Mishing family, sandbar camping and birding during the winter season are some of the highlights of Dichang Mukh.

Patsaku Village: Patsaku is a must-visit destination if you want to know about the Tai-Ahom culture, history and tradition. Although the village has accepted a new age lifestyle, it has not detached itself from its actual cultural roots. This is the only place in Assam where the Ahoms have preserved their Tai language. The age-old identity of the Ahoms in the form of rituals, dance, dress, textile and cuisine is still prevalent in Patsaku. On a day outing to Patsaku, you can learn about the primitive ways of Muga silk yarning, a short history lesson about how Sukaphaa entered the Brahmaputra valley and established the Ahom kingdom and an introduction to culinary arts of the Tai Ahom people.

Soulful sivasagar.

Shiva Dol view at night

Sivasagar is a district in the state of Assam, India, 369 kms away from Guwahati. The district is located on the upper Brahmaputra Valley. It is known for its historic monuments and temples built during the reign of the Ahom Dynasty.

The Ahoms influenced the political and cultural life of Assam and ruled from the 13th century to the early 19th century. Charaideo was one of the earliest capitals of the Ahom Kingdom. Later, under the reign of different rulers, Saragua, Gargaon, Rangpur and Jorhat became capitals of the Ahom Dynasty at different points of time. The Ahoms were the descendants of the Shan/Tai tribe of Chinese origin who had settled in the region of Upper Burma. Thereafter, Sivasagar was founded by King Chaolung Sukaphaa, also known as Siu-ka-Pha of the same tribe. It is said that Siu-ka-pha was accompanied by his soldiers, elephants, ministers and officials when he entered the Brahmaputra valley in the 13th century crossing the Patkai Hills.The rule of the Ahom Dynasty ended with the Burmese invasion of Assam somewhere between 1817 and 1825 and then the subsequent annexation by the British East India Company in 1825.

Map of Assam

The Ahom dynasty reached its zenith under the reign of Rudra Simha (1696-1714). During his rule the capital was shifted to Meteka near present-day Sivasagar. He built the city of Rangpur with the help of Ghanashyam, the chief architect. It is believed that Ghanasyam was a Muslim from Bengal who later converted to Hinduism. As a result of Ghanashyam’s influence we find an amalgamation of Islamic architectural elements such as domes, arches with Hindu elements like the sikhara .

Stone sculpture at Jagaddhatri Dol

The architecture of the buildings constructed during the reign of the Ahoms can be understood in two ways - secular and religious. The secular architecture includes forts, pavilions and palaces. Whereas the religious architecture is dominated by temples dedicated to Lord Siva, Lord Visnu and Goddess Durga. A dynasty which lasted for almost six hundred years paid great attention to the security of their kingdom. They built ramparts at various points which are locally known as Garh . These were surrounded by deep and wide moats called Garkhawoi which were filled with water. In fact, today the presence of ramparts can be determined from places whose names have ‘ Garh ’ as suffix.

People and Culture of Sivasagar

The city of Sivasagar is named after the famous Sivasagar tank, locally known as Borpukhuri. The city embraces multiple ethnic groups such as the Mishing, Naga, Manipuri, Garo and Deori. The peaceful co-existence of these ethnic groups have led to the evolution of their diverse cultures in the arena of Sivasagar.

The art, folklore, costumes, dance, cuisines of these groups are unique and collectively exhibit the rich tradition of Assam. The monuments on the other hand, stand as a symbol of the power and the might of the Ahoms. The locals of Sivasagar embraced Hindu rites, beliefs and customs. Sivasagar is home to two popular saints of the Vaishnavite tradition, Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardeva and Sri Sri Madhabdeva.

The Satra at Amguri, Assam has been imparting their teachings. Satras are social centres associated with the Ekaharana tradition of Vaishnavism. The word ‘ satra ’ has been mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana as a Sanskrit term ‘sattra’, which means a gathering of devotees.

It is said that the Ahoms observed three Bihu which are the festivals related to agriculture. Bihu has its origin from the Tai word ‘Pi-hu’ or ‘Poi-Hu’. People of Sivasagar observe various traditional festivals and rituals among which Bihu is of great importance. Poi-Chankein or Bohang Bihu (observed in April) is the main festival and is observed at the beginning of Spring Season. It is celebrated right before the paddy cultivation. In this festival, people wish for a good harvest because this is the time when farmers start sowing. Chip-song-ka or Kaati Bihu (observed in October) is celebrated to mark the cutting and binding of grain and Meji Joluwa Utsav or Magh Bihu (observed in January-February) marks the season of harvesting of the crops. The main aspect of these three celebrations is the ancestor worship called Me-Dam-Me-Phi. Where, Me means worship, Dam means the dead and Phi means God. That is, the dead are worshipped as Gods. Another very popular festival celebrated in the new year’s month of Dinsing or Aghun is called Kin-on-Meu or Na-Khuwa. In these festivals, the first produce of the season is offered to the ancestors. Some of the traditional rituals performed during these festivals are chanting of hymns by the priests, eating traditional food like Amroli-tup and pork and drinking lao or rice beer.

Mukuli Bihu Dance

The Bihu dance and the Bihu Song are the most popular art forms in Sivasagar. These are performed with an instrument called Dhol and Mahar-Singar pepa . The Bihu songs were initially sung in Tai language, but over time these have been replaced by songs in Assamese language. The husari group of dancers and singers used to visit the king and nobles to bless them with prosperity, good health and luck by performing Bihu dance.

During the rule of the Ahom kings numerous tanks, temples and historical monuments were constructed. The most outstanding of these are water tanks by the name of Sivasagar, Joysagar and Gaurisagar. Various temples of great historical significance were also built such as the Sivadol group of Temples. These are located on the bank of Sivasagar tank which is also known as Borpukhuri tank. The Sivadol complex comprises of three temples namely, Sivadol, Vishnudol and Devidol dedicated to Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Goddess Durga respectively.

Kareng Ghar

Ghanashyam Dol

The most unique temple of Sivasagar district is the Ghanashyam Dol,, a terracotta brick temple which is located near Joysagar Tank. According to popular belief, it was constructed during the reign of king Rajeswar Singha (1751-1769) for his naati (grandson) belonging to the lineage of Parbatiya Gosain. Hence, the temple is also called Naati Gosain Dol. A different narrative of the origin of Ghanashyam Dol is that it was built under the patronage of King Rudra Singha by Ghanashyam Khanikar who was brought by Rudra Singha as the chief architect to construct the city of Rangpur.

Sivasagar houses royal pavilions like “Rang Ghar” which is also a popular amphitheatre, close to Joysagar Tank. It is an 18th-century structure built by Ahom king Pramatta Singha (1744-1751). Often referred to as the Colosseum of the East, it served as a pavilion where the royal families and other dignitaries used to watch various games and sports.

Talatal Ghar

An Army Base of the Ahoms, called Talatal Ghar has been well preserved till date. As the largest Tai monument, it has secret tunnels which were used as escape routes during the Ahom wars. The two main tunnels are known to be 16 kms and 3 kms in length. However, these have now been closed due to security reasons.

The tombstones of the Ahom kings and queens are known as 'Maidans'. They are constructed as pyramidal structures similar to the pyramids of Egypt.

One of the popular structures is the 'Namdong Stone Bridge' which is made from a single solid rock cutting. The famous Ajan Peer Dargah Sharif in Sivasagar stands as the symbol of Hindu-Muslim integration. It is located in the Saraguri Chapori.

Hajarat Ajan Pir Dargah

This sacred mausoleum was built in the memory of a reformer and saint named Ajan Fakir who was originally from Baghdad and came to North East India in the 17th century. He played a pivotal role in unifying the people of the Brahmaputra Valley. Devotees in large numbers visit this Dargah from all over the world.

Apart from the built heritage, Sivasagar is home to archaeological sites, zoo and sanctuary. One such place is Na-pukhuri Archaeological Site also known as Rudrasagar. It is located on the bank of Rudrasagar tank, a paradise for migratory birds. The Shivadol at this site is a structure of architectural importance. It was built during the rule of king Swaradew Lakshmi Singha in 1773. The monument is a typical Ahom structure built on an octagonal base.

Na-Pukhuri Archaeological Site

During the rule of Ahom Swargadeo Rudra Singha, Pohugarh came into existence as the first zoo in Sivasagar. Covering an area of 140 acres, it was built in a manner that it retains water throughout the year in order to create a natural habitat for wildlife and the avifauna.

Pani Dihing Birds Sanctuary

Pani Dihing Wildlife Sanctuary was established as a Bird Sanctuary in August 1999 by the Government of Assam. The sanctuary lies between the Brahmaputra river and the Desang river covering an area of 33.93 sq. kms. The area is a grassland where more than 267 species of birds including 70 migratory species have been recognised.

The district therefore, presents before us a unified vision of a diverse culture. For many years it has been a centre of political activities, art, culture and literature.
