Descripción del sitio
Garhgoan (Lat. 26°58’ N Long. 94° 41' E) was the principal seat of the
Ahoms for more than four centuries. The chronicle sources refer that
Suklengmung, the 15th Ahom king established the capital at Garhgoan and
constructed a palace with wood and other impermanent material in the
year 1540 AD. Later, king Pramatta Singha constructed a brick wall and
masonry gateway in the capital complex. The present multistoried
edifice was built by king Rajeswar Singha in 1752 AD. The fort and the
royal complex were badly damaged and disfigured due to procurement of
raw materials for building from the monument. The structural remains in
the fortified complex stand as a mute testimony of the Ahom kings of
the bygone days. Brought by to the
