Bhomoraguri Historical Stone
The Bhomoraguri Historical Stone is a site of immense archaeological and historical importance located near the Kolia Bhomora Setu. It features a rock inscription that dates back to the Ahom era, specifically the 17th century. The inscription was commissioned by the Ahom General Kalia Bhomora Borph ukan, who was a visionary leader and strategist. He had initially planned to build a bridge across the Brahmaputra River at this very spot to facilitate the movement of the Ahom army. Although he could not complete the bridge during his lifetime, his efforts are immortalized in this stone. The inscription is written in ancient Assamese script and details the military triumphs and the administrative works of the Ahom kingdom. The site is located on a small hillock, providing a vantage point over the river. It serves as a reminder of the engineering ambitions of the ancient Assamese people. The current bridge, which was completed in the late 20th century, is named after this great general to honor his legacy. Visiting this site gives one a sense of the deep-rooted history of the region and the struggles against foreign invasions. The area is quiet and surrounded by trees, making it a contemplative spot for history buffs. Many students and researchers visit this place to study the script and the historical context of the Ahom-Mughal conflicts. It is one of the few surviving physical records of that era in the Tezpur region. The stone itself is protected by a small structure to prevent erosion and vandalism. It is a small but significant part of the cultural tapestry of Assam.
