Sivasagar

Kareng Ghar and Talatal Ghar
This historical monument was built by King Rudra Singha during 1696-1714 AD, and is only 4 km from the present town of Sibsagar. This was the capital and military station of the Ahom Kings. Kareng Ghar is a seven storied palace with three underground floors known as the Talatal Ghar. The Talatal ghar made of brick and an indigenous type of cement was constructed by the king Rajeswar Singha.

There were two underground ways-the one leading to the Dikhow river is about three kilometers in length while the other leading to the Gargaon palace is about 16 kilometers in length which were later blocked by the East India Company. These tunnels served as emergency exits.

The Gargaon Palace
The principal capital of the Ahom kings was constructed by the 15th Ahom king Suklengmung in the year 1540. The structures were made of wood and stones. It lies 14 kilometers to the east of Sivasagar town and three kilometers west of Simaluguri Railway Station near Nazira. The present surviving brick palace of seven storeys was rebuilt by Swargadeo Rajeswar Singha in 1752.

Rang Ghar

Madan Kamdev
Madan Kamdev refers to the stone sculptures 35 km from Guwahati. It is more of a mystery in the sense that very little is known about the origin of this magnificient archaeological ruins which in the words of the poet Omar Khayyam: "is a veil past which I could not see". Written history is almost silent on it, leaving the ground clear for conjectures and hypothesis.
Kamarupa, the ancient name of Assam, is believed to have been derived from a legend connected with Madan Kamdev.
