FAQs On Lachit Borphukan's Maidam
Jorhat, Assam, India
Lachit Borphukan's Maidam is a significant historical monument and the burial site of the legendary Ahom General, Lachit Borphukan, who led the Ahom army to a decisive victory against the Mughal forces in the Battle of Saraighat in 1671. The Maidam, which literally means 'burial mound' in Ahom tradi tion for royals and nobles, was constructed in 1672 by Ahom King Swargadeo Udayaditya Singha to honour the hero a year after his death. It stands as a profound tribute to Borphukan's valor, unwavering patriotism, and military genius, especially his masterstroke of using the naval strength of the Ahom forces on the Brahmaputra river. The site is not just a monument but a sacred ground that preserves the memory of the Ahom kingdom's glorious past and its successful resistance against the expansionist designs of the Mughal Empire. The peaceful and well-maintained complex, often surrounded by lush green gardens, includes the main burial mound, a marble mausoleum, and a museum that showcases artifacts related to the Ahom era and the life of Lachit Borphukan. The Maidam attracts history enthusiasts, tourists, and locals alike, who come to pay homage and learn about the rich heritage and martial traditions of Assam and the North-East region of India. The celebration of Lachit Divas on November 24th each year commemorates his birth anniversary and highlights his lasting legacy, making the Maidam a focal point for cultural and patriotic activities in the state. The complex serves as an enduring symbol of Assamese pride and self-determination.
