History Of Na-Pukhuri

Tinsukia, Assam, India
Na-Pukhuri, literally meaning "Nine Ponds" in Assamese, is a prominent historical and recreational site located centrally in Tinsukia, Assam. This cluster of ancient tanks is a significant remnant of the glorious Muttock Kingdom, which had its capital, Bengmara (the present-day Tinsukia), establishe d in 1791 A.D. The ponds were commissioned by the last Muttock King, Swargadeo Sarbananda Singha, who reigned from 1788 to 1805 A.D. He was known for his benevolence and instructed the digging of 24 tanks across his kingdom, with Na-Pukhuri being the largest and most famous cluster. The central tank, which is the largest among the nine, covers an area of around 11.75 acres and is often referred to as a lake due to its natural water source and vast size. The area surrounding the ponds has been beautifully developed by the district administration into a lush green park, now officially known as Marut Nandan Kanan Park or Na-Pukhuri Park. This development was intended to preserve the historical significance of the site while transforming it into a popular spot for relaxation, recreation, and tourism. The park features manicured lawns, colorful flowering bushes, a monument dedicated as a tribute to the Muttock Kingdom, and well-maintained pathways. Visitors can enjoy the serene ambiance, which provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the commercial town of Tinsukia. The site combines natural beauty with deep historical roots, making it a unique cultural landscape. The pond complex served practical purposes like water storage and fish farming for the kingdom but has now evolved into a symbol of Tinsukia's rich past. The efforts to maintain its cleanliness and enhance its facilities, like the jogging tracks and boating options in the central pond, have cemented its status as a vital part of the town's social and cultural life. The historical context, combined with the aesthetic development, makes Na-Pukhuri a must-visit place for both locals and tourists.
