The Material Culture and Mortuary Architecture of the Ahom Swargadeos: A Study of the Ahom Maidamas at Charaideo.

Author(s) Dr. Bhaskar Doley
Country India
Abstract The Maidams of Charaideo, the cultural capital of the Ahom dynasty, are often called the ‘Pyramids of Assam’. These vaulted mound burials represent a unique blend of indigenous earthen construction and sophisticated masonry techniques. From a historical and archaeological perspective, the sites offer strong opportunities for inclusive research. Beyond architecture, the Ahom dynasty, one of Medieval India's long-standing dynasties, holds a notable position in administration and historiography. Despite their historical resilience and cultural value, these structures face ongoing threats from climate change, vegetation growth, and urban encroachment. A few years ago, the archaeological site of Charaideo, under the supervision of Dr K. C. Nauriyal, Chief Archaeologist, ASI, earned UNESCO World Heritage recognition.
This paper presents an in-depth case study of the site's entry techniques, preservation methods, and cultural relevance, based on a field report conducted in 2023 (by one of the authors). In addition to the field study, this research adopts a comprehensive historical analytical method to optimise the available data. By assessing the current restoration status using scientific methods, this study also calls for community-backed stewardship to safeguard these irreplaceable testaments of Ahom heritage for future generations.
