History

It is a seven storeys palace, three of which is under the surface and is called the Talatalghar while rest four storeys, Karenghar is above the surface. The Palace was strategically built to combat enemy attacks and has two secret underground tunnels one of which is 16 kilometers long, these tunnels were used as escape routes during enemy attacks. It is built in such a way that it can mitigate earthquake surface wave impacts as much as possible. It is also built tactically to fool and identify unwelcomed people. This palace was one of the major reason behind the success of Ahom Kingdom. The monument is now looked upon by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), National Culture Fund and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC).
