I was amazed to see the huge collection of archaeological excavated items of ancient era at this site, the critical way in which those were preserved and the study-documents.

on our way from Kohima to Kaziranga, we stayed at Golaghat. the next day, while proceeding towards Kaziranga( actually an hour and half before arriving at Kaziranga forest reserve) we spotted this board outside a dilapidated building. we got off to find that the building was shut. A bit disappointed, we were about to turn back, when I spotted a rough road by the side. we started climbing the same and after about 15 minutes came to top of the Deoparbat and guess what- a most astonishing sight awaited us. tucked away, far above, were the remains of a ^th or 7th century Temple ruins, with the central dome covered by a zinc roof , (obviosly done by the ARCHEALOGY DEPARTMENT to preserve it). It had intricately carved figurines around the entire dome. possibly during an earthquake, it must have got destroyed. the place is so magical, we can weave a lot of stories around it in our minds. There was no one in sight and the peace and quiet gave it a spiritual energy, which seemed to engulf me. I spent an hour or roaming around the area. It is definitely worth a visit, from Kaziranga forest reserve , as a day trip, for sure.
