A visit to Sivasagar, a project for class X students


A VISIT TO SIVASAGAR


Last  year during our school winter vacation we(our family) went to sivasagar to see the historical monuments. At 4 in the morning we all reach to bus stoppage to go towards guwahati .After reaching guwahati we have forward towards Sivasagar. Almost in the evening we reached our destination, means sivasagar. During our trip to sivasagar we have seen too many tea garden on the way. Some lady workers were working there.







Sibsagar is a town in Upper  Assam, about 360 kilometres  north east of Guwahati. It is the district headquarters of the Sivasagar district.It is well known for its Ahom palaces and monuments. Sivasagar  is now  also an important centre for the tea and oil industries. we have seen too many historical monuments as well as destructions in our visit like sivadol, Rang Ghar, Kareng Ghar, Maidams in charaideo and many more.

Sivadol is a group of structures comprising three Hindu temples of Sivadol, Visnudol and Devidol, other shrines, and a museum. These are located on the banks of the Sivasagar tank, in the heart of Sivasagar, in Assam. The tank was constructed between 1731 and 1738.The height of the Sivadol  is 104 feet.



Rang ghar- The Rang Ghar is two-storied building which once served as the royal sports-pavilion where Ahom kings and nobles were spectators at games like buffalo fights and other sports at Rupahi Pathar,  particularly during the Rongali Bihu festival in the Ahom capital of Rangpur. It is 3 km away from the center of the Sivasagar Town. Situated by the side of the Assam Trunk Road, it lies to the northeast of the Rangpur Palace, a seven storied royal complex.



Kareng ghar-  karng ghar is also known as The Gorgaon Palace, is located in Gorgaon, 15 kilometres  from Sivasagar,Of all Ahom ruins, the Kareng Ghar is one of the grandest examples of Ahom architecture. The palace structures were made of wood and stones. In 1747 Pramatta Singha,  constructed the brick wall of about 5 kilometres  in length surrounding the Gargaon Palace and the masonry gate leading to it.
After the destruction of the old palace it was rebuilt around 1752 by Rajeswar Singha.Rangpur was the capital of the Ahom Kingdom and served as its military-station.






Maidams are tumuli of the royalty and aristocracy of the medieval Ahom Kingdom (1228-1826) in Assam. The royal maidams are found exclusively at Charaideo, near Sibasagar; whereas other maidams are found scattered in the region between Jorhat and Dibrugarh towns. Structurally, a maidam consists of vaults with one or more chambers.The vaults have a domical superstructure that are covered by ahemispherical earthen mound that rises high above the ground with an open pavilion at the peak called chow chali.



The Ahom community in Assam consider the excavation as an affront to their tradition, because the maidams are associated with the Ahom ancestor worship and the festival of Me-Dam-Me-Ph.

 Really it was an amazing trip for all of us. We seen a lot valuables there, also   learned a lot of the Ahom dynasty  and the historical place Sibasagar. We  spent three days there. We enjoyed a lot.

FLOOD AND SOIL EROSION IN ASSAM

FLOOD AND SOIL EROSION IN ASSAM A flood occurs when water overflows or inundates land that's normally dry. This can happen in a multitude of ways. Most common is when rivers or streams overflow their banks. Excessive rain, a ruptured dam or levee, rapid ice melting in the mountains, or even an unfortunately placed beaver dam can overwhelm a river and send it spreading over the adjacent land.   An annual feature that people of Assam have been living with ever since time immemorial. Year after year, it’s a repeat of loss of life, damage to crop and property, and loss of cattle and wildlife, We take great pride in claiming how far India has come since independence and yet, when it comes to Assam, the nation simply seems to take the damages as a fact of life and everything carries on as usual, once the flood recedes. The situation began to turn critical ever since the state experienced pre-monsoon showers in April a...
