The Charaideo Moidams enshrine the mortal remains of Ahom royalty—previously, those of the deceased with their paraphernalia were buried, but after the 18th century, the Ahom rulers adopted the Hindu method of cremation, later entombing the cremated bones and ashes in a Moidam at Charaideo. The Moidams are highly venerated. When the nation celebrated the 400th birth anniversary of Lachit Borphukan, you had kindly spared some moments and viewed the exhibition set up in the Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, which included a model of Moidam that showcased unique burial architecture and tradition of the Tai Ahoms.” He said, “There is currently no He added, “State government and ASI will put efforts together.

It is a part of the vast dynamic river system of Brahmaputra basin with a total length of 2706kni and a catchment area of 5,80,000 sq km. The Majuli Island is a fluvial landform (a riverine delta), a unique geographical occurrence and a result of the dynamics of this vast river system.The island itself extends for a length of about 80 km and for about 10-15 km north to south direction with a total area of about 875 Sq kin. It is 85 -- 90 m above the mean sea level. It is formed in that stretch of the river where the largest number of tributaries drains out and forms their deltas on the Northern and theSouthern banks. Majuli is purely a region of fluvial geomorphology. It rises from the Brahmaputra basin and in course of time turned into a flat-level alluvial plain. The geomorphology of this region is directly related with its physiographie characteristics. The island is bounded by the river Subanisri and her tributaries Ranganadi, Dikrong, Dubla,Chici and Tuni etc. on the North west, the kherkatia Suli ( a spill channel of the river Brahmaputra) in the northeast and the main Brahmaputra River on the South and the ...

Last Updated: 4th March, 2023 12:04 IST Assam's 'Maidams' To Be UNESCO World Heritage Site, Clear Technical Requirements India's sole nomination for recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site this year, 'Maidams' or the burial mounds of Ahom royalty in Assam’s Charaideo district, have met the technical requirements, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said. The 'Maidams' or the mound burial system of the Ahom dynasty in Charaideo was first listed in the tentative list of UNESCO's World Heritage site in April 2014, Sarma had said earlier. The 'Maidams' will be under the cultural segment as per the categorisation of World Heritage sites. There is currently no World Heritage site in the category of cultural heritage in the northeast out of the 32 listed in the country. Manas and Kaziranga National Parks, both in Assam, are World Heritage sites under the natural category, of which there are seven in India. The state Directorate of Archaeology had prepared the dossier to push the case for the Charaideo Maidams which was submitted to the Archaeological Survey of India, following which the chief minister had written to the Prime Minister. Out of 386 'Maidams' explored so far, 90 royal burials at Charaideo are the best preserved, representative, and most complete examples of this tradition, the chief minister had said. Initially, the deceased with their personal belongings and other paraphernalia were buried, but after the 18th century, the Ahom rulers adopted the Hindu method of ...

The people of Majuli recently organised a public meeting at Kamalabari and formed a nine-member committee to take up the matter with the government. The committee met chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and local MLA Sarbananda Sonowal (also the former chief minister) during their recent visit to the island and requested them to take necessary steps to expedite the matter. The committee has also sent a letter to the government seeking a status report on the initiatives taken to prepare the dossier, which is like a conclusive documentary of the island. “Besides raising our demands before the chief minister and the local MLA, we sent a letter to the government seeking a status report on the matter. But we are yet to receive any response from the government in this regard so far,” said Jagat Hazarika, a social worker and convener of the committee on Sunday. Hazarika, a former secretary of Majuli Suraksha Samannaya Mancha, an organisation formed for protection and development of the river island, said: “The Government of India will have to submit the dossier by June 20. Sadly, nothing has been done in case of Majuli so far. Although the demand to make Majuli a world heritage site has been made since 2000 and nomination dossiers were submitted to the Unesco in 2006, 2012 and 2014. Majuli will be deprived of getting the global recognition once again due to lapse on part of the government.” Majuli was shortlisted in the world heritage site tentative list at the world heritage comm...
