Photos Of Hazara Pukhuri
Tezpur, Assam, India
Hazara Pukhuri, which translates literally to "The Pond of Hazara," is one of the most significant historical water bodies in Tezpur, and indeed, in all of Assam. This sprawling, man-made tank is believed to have been excavated during the early 9th century AD under the reign of Harjara Varman, a pow erful ruler of the Mlechchha dynasty (also known as the S?lastambha dynasty), which governed the Kamarupa kingdom. The pond is often historically referred to as Harjara Pukhuri after its creator. Covering a massive area, historically cited as around 70 acres or 240 bighas (approximately 10 hectares), it stands as a testament to the advanced hydraulic and civil engineering skills of ancient Assam. The pond was not merely decorative; it was a critical water reservoir, serving the needs of the capital city during that era. Over the centuries, its function has evolved. While still holding immense historical value, today it serves as a central recreational and environmental spot in the heart of Tezpur. The vast expanse of water provides a cooling effect in the urban environment and is particularly famous for attracting numerous migratory water birds during the winter season, transforming it into a minor bird-watcher's paradise from November to March. The surrounding area has been developed for public use, often hosting sporting activities, particularly swimming and training, and functions as a popular venue for social events and recreational strolls. Its colossal size and deep-rooted history, linking it directly to the ancient kingdom of Kamarupa, ensure its status as a vital landmark in the "City of Eternal Romance," Tezpur. The sheer scale of the excavation, maintained over more than a thousand years, reflects the architectural prowess and commitment to public welfare by its original builders.
