| Video Discription | The Kachari Ruins are a set of ruins located in Dimapur, Nagaland, Northeast India. Their history dates back to the 10th century when they appeared during the Kachari civilization. The Kachari Ruins is a series of mushroom domed pillars. They were created by the Kachari Kingdom, which ruled here before the Ahom invasion into the territory during the 13th Century AD. Their origin and purpose are largely mysterious. The pillars are not well maintained. Some pillars still stand in all their glory but others have crumbled down. It is believed that a game similar to chess was played there with the mushroom domes. By the 13th century, the Kachari kingdom extended along the southern banks of Brahmaputra River, from Dikhow river to Kallang River and included the valley of Dhansiri and present-day Dima Hasao district. In Dimapur we can still find the remains of Kachari City. The locals around Dimapur refer to the remains as the Chess Pieces of Dima Raja or the King of Dimasa. "A few ancient temples only in upper Assam were then built of masonry, whereas the remains at Dimapur, for instance, which flourished centuries before the Ahoms arrived, show us that Kacharis knew all about the art of brick making and permanent buildings." SOURCE-wikipedia Kachari Ruins or The Dimasa Kachari Ruins are a set of remnants (generally 8 to 10 feet high) which is located in the town of Dimapur in Nagaland. The ruins are a series of mushroom domed pillars that were created by the Dimasa Kachari Kingdoms that ruled before Ahom invasion during the 13th century. The purpose and origin of the pillars are mysterious; few of the pillars stand in full glory while others are crumbled down. It is also believed that a game similar to that of chess was played here with the mushroom shaped dooms. It is a glory of the North East and the tourism department of Nagaland. You will have to enter through the entrance gateway to the ruins; the ruins are scattered widely within the premises and the greenery around is all owing to the overgrown tall grass and weeds. The government has taken the stand to protect the ruins from local vandalism by installing iron railings. You would not witness any mammoth structures, but the stone ruins are only of singular type the shapes are similar - tall and stout standing stones. They look very much like lingas but are meticulously sculpted with beautiful design. With an aerial view, you can imagine them to be like chess pieces. The biggest one is a massive monolith, standing about 22 feet tall. Although with time, these designs have lost their original accuracy, but it still reflects the indigenous Aryan elements. The commonest motifs are those of lotus and flowers; but you can also see animal designs like deer, elephant or cow. One of the noticeable motifs is a man raising his arms to the sky as if in celebration wearing a head dress. You will also see tasselled motifs as they appear at the repetitive folds. These ruins are definitely worth a visit and would allure any art and history lover. SOURCE-tourmyindia.com The stories are hidden deep within the stone pillars and there is no effort to hear them. It is said that Dimapur used to be the Capital of Kachari Kingdom. Even wikipedia says that the use of this place is still mystery. It houses some relics of Kachari Architecture there were no sign boards to explain what the huge stone pieces were for. These ruins go back a 1000 years and are traced to the Kachari rulers who ruled this part of the north eastern hills of Assam. They are located in the heart of Dimapur town. These mushroom shaped sand stone monoliths are carved with geometric patterns, although some of the nearby toppled-over stones show motifs of animals and plants. No one is quite certain what purpose these strange monoliths served, but the popular belief is that they are meant to commemorate victories in battles. Locals remain indifferent and sometimes.....even amused as to why someone should be keen to visit here. My first view on reaching here was that the roads in Dimapur were much more in ruins than these structures. The auto waalas did not know it at as Kachari ruins but as Rajbaari. If you tell them the place where Pandavas placed Gotiya or chess, they would recognize. The Remnants of the Kachari Dynasty ruins are present in Dimapur and the spot, called Rajbari Park, is easily accessible. You will find a series of large mushroom domed pillars at the spot. Some of them are still erect while others have succumbed to the ravages of time and are lying on the ground. The gradual crumbling has marred their looks but you can still get a feel of the grandiose culture and artistic sense of those ancient rulers by exploring the architectural wonder. It is not clearly known what the tombs signify. But historians believe they were set up either as feats of achievements or there were religious significance. The park looks like a gigantic chess board from aerial view. SOURCE-gosahin.com |
