FAQs On Sivasagar Tank

Sivasagar, Assam, India
Sivasagar Tank, popularly known as Borpukhuri, is a massive man-made lake that forms the heart of Sivasagar town. Excavated between 1731 and 1738 by Queen Ambika, the consort of King Siva Singha, this tank covers an area of approximately 129 acres. One of the most fascinating engineering marvels of the tank is that its water level remains higher than the surrounding ground level throughout the year, even during the peak of summer. This is attributed to the presence of natural springs and advanced hydrological planning by the Ahom engineers of the 18th century. The tank was built as a source of freshwater for the royal capital and as a defensive measure. Its name "Sivasagar" literally means the "Ocean of Lord Shiva," reflecting the religious devotion of the rulers. The banks of the tank are lined with three historical temples: Sivadol, Vishnudol, and Devidol, which dominate the skyline. During the winter months, the tank becomes a sanctuary for numerous Migratory Birds that flock to its waters, making it a scenic spot for birdwatchers. The embankments are well-maintained, offering a peaceful environment for morning walks and evening strolls for both locals and tourists. The tank is not just a water body but a living piece of history that has witnessed the rise and fall of empires. It remains a central hub for social and cultural activities in the town. The calm waters reflecting the golden Kalash of the Sivadol at sunset provide a breathtaking view that captures the essence of Upper Assam.
