Hotels In Bangalpukhuri
Jorhat, Assam, India
Bangalpukhuri is a large, historic water tank (pukhuri means pond or tank in Assamese) located in the southern part of Jorhat city. It holds a significant place in the local folklore and history, primarily due to its association with a dark chapter from the Ahom era. The tank was excavated in 1739 by a powerful Ahom Governor named Badan Chandra Borphukan, who was notorious for his tyrannical rule and his role in inviting the Burmese invasions into Assam. According to local legend, the tank was built with the forced labor of the Assamese people and later, it is said that after Borphukan's assassination (allegedly ordered by a resistance leader named Rupali Singh Bhangal), the tank was symbolically "purified" by throwing the ashes of the deceased tyrant into its waters. This grim history has led to a local superstition that people generally avoid using the water of Bangalpukhuri for drinking or domestic purposes, despite its size and appearance. Despite its somewhat somber historical context, Bangalpukhuri is a tranquil and picturesque spot within the city. The large expanse of water, surrounded by greenery and often local residents enjoying the quietude, offers a refreshing break from the urban bustle. While it may not be a bustling tourist attraction, it serves as a fascinating historical landmark and a place for quiet reflection on the past. For history enthusiasts and those interested in local legends and the socio-political dynamics of the Ahom period, Bangalpukhuri provides a unique and intriguing insight into Jorhat's layered past. It stands as a silent witness to centuries of local events and changing times.
