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.
