Moidams by Stanislaw Warwas

Moidams – the Mound-Burial System of the Ahom Dynasty comprises the remains of a royal necropolis.
More than 90 burial mounds were built by the Tai-Ahom, who migrated to Charaideo in the 13th century from the Northeast. They used the natural, hilly topography to create a sacred landscape.
Community Perspective: Tamas has provided a full overview of the site's history and visiting situation from early 2024. Be aware that there are still two entrances as the site is split between two parties, as Els reported in November 2024, and that payment for the part managed by the ASI can be done online only. Furthermore, don't miss the other (uninscribed) Ahom monuments in nearby Sivsagar and Garhgaon, as they are much more impressive.
