Talatal Ghar: This monument was built by Ahom king Rajeswar Singha. It is a well-planned monument which has a three storeyed building underground and a four storeyed above the ground. The underground building was reserved for the army barracks. There was an underground tunnel which lead to the Dikhow river.
Rang Ghar: This monument was built by Ahom king Pramattha Singha in 1746. It was built for the entertainment of Ahom kings. The kings used to watch bull fights, elephant fights and other means of entertainment from this building.
Fascinating place and some interesting photos. I really like the ones looking through arches and the one of the stairs going down.
Thank you
An excellent post. Many years ago when in India, we did NOT get to Assam, sadly: your blog reveals we made a mistake not to visit. I will be back, no problem. I am glad you like “In search of unusual destinations”. Phil.
Very beautiful and interesting. Where is this?
Assam, North East India.
I love the 2 very pinkish / terracotta photos, one of the steps ( going UP I thought!), and the underground large space with the arched ceiling. Really atmospheric. Fascinating that your say the kings watched Elephant fights, I have never heard that before. I didn’t even know that elephants would fight each other! Very interesting post, thank you!
