Sibsagar
Sibsagar is about 150 km east of the famous Kaziranga National Park, in the state of Assam. It is a city with a rich and ancient cultural heritage. It was the capital of the Ahom Kings who ruled Assam for 600 years, until the British took over power in 1826. Remains of Ahom's days can be seen here in this town. Some of them are man made artificial lake created by Queen Madambika in 1734, Shivdol-the tallest Shiv temple in the world, palaces of Kareng Ghar and Talatal Ghar, Gaurisagar Tank, along with three temples.
| Today, Sibsagar is a rapidly developing town in commercial, industrial and educational activities. It is also an important centre for the tea and oil industries. |
But evidence of its royal past is overwhelming.
