Photos Of Bamuni Hills
Tezpur, Assam, India
Bamuni Hills is an immensely significant archaeological site located on the right bank of the Brahmaputra River, close to the Bhairavi Temple, near Tezpur town. The site preserves the exquisite ruins of a temple complex believed to date back to the 9th to 10th centuries AD, primarily associated with the Pala dynasty era. This hillock is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and serves as a silent testament to the rich, ancient history and sophisticated art of the region, then known as Kamrupa. The scattered stone fragments, carved panels, and structural members are the remnants of what historians believe was a sprawling Panchayatana style temple complex. This style is characterized by a central, principal shrine surrounded by four smaller, subsidiary shrines at the corners, typically dedicated to major deities. Evidence suggests the central temple was dedicated to Lord Vishnu, given the prominent carvings of his various avatars, while the surrounding shrines were likely dedicated to Lord Shiva and other Hindu deities. The location on a hill overlooking the vast Brahmaputra adds a layer of scenic and spiritual grandeur, making it a compulsory stop for history enthusiasts and tourists seeking tranquility. Many of the finest sculptural pieces have been relocated for better preservation to nearby places like the Chitralekha Udyan (Cole Park) in Tezpur, but the ruins that remain in situ at Bamuni Hills still powerfully convey the architectural brilliance of the ancient Assamese artisans. The site also features in local folklore, including the tale of Lord Krishna's grandson Aniruddha and the demon Banasura's daughter Usha, adding a mythical dimension to its historical importance.
