Ahom Dynasty’s Moidam Burial Complex and Shrines Added to UNESCO’s Heritage List
The Charaideo Moidam royal burial complex and shrines, built by India's Ahom dynasty (1228-1826) in the northeast, have been officially inscribed as a World Heritage Site. The Charaideo Moidams, situated in Assam, are a burial system featuring mounds that served as the resting places for Ahom royalty. These structures were created by layering earth over hollow vaults constructed from bricks, stone, or earth.
The designated area includes 90 moidams of various sizes, developed over a span of 600 years. The site also encompasses other cultural features such as ceremonial pathways and water bodies. The decision was made by UNESCO experts during their 46th session in New Delhi, where they are assessing nominations for the World Heritage Site list, as per a press release by UNESCO.
