Ahom Architecture
Ahom Architecture refers to the unique architectural style developed by the Ahom dynasty in Assam, India, from the 13th to the 19th centuries. This style is characterized by the use of wooden structures, intricate carvings, and thatched roofs, reflecting the local environment and materials. The buildings often feature raised platforms to protect against flooding, showcasing a deep understanding of the region's geography.
Notable examples of Ahom Architecture include the Sivasagar monuments, such as the Talatal Ghar and Kareng Ghar, which served both residential and military purposes. The architecture emphasizes harmony with nature, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal, and remains a significant part of Assam's cultural heritage.
