Where history whispers through stones

In Bamuni Hills, just a short drive from the bustling town of Tezpur, you are stepping into a living museum of India’s ancient past. Often referred to as Usha Pahar, this hill is more than just a scenic spot, it's an astounding repository of sculptural relics that date back to the 9th and 10th centuries AD. Scattered across the hill, they carry an unmistakable resemblance to the architectural finesse of the Gupta period, with intricate carvings, stone lintels, and artistic depictions of divine tales. You’ll find the famed Da Parbatia ruins here, one of India’s oldest surviving examples of temple architecture, where the mythical figures of Ganga and Yamuna stand as eternal guardians.

A walk through time and art

As you wander over Bamuni Hills, each step uncovers stories sculpted in stone. Marvel at the exquisitely carved walls, with panels depicting the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu and delicate floral patterns that testify to the artistry of the bygone era. The craftsmanship is unmatched, with cross-shaped brackets and kirtimukha motifs whispering tales of devotion. The quiet surroundings make it easy to lose yourself, imagining the hill as a bustling centre of spirituality and culture in its prime.

Activities to engage your soul

Exploring Bamuni Hills is not just about admiring the sculptures—it’s an experience that combines history with contemplation. Take leisurely walks around the hill, soak in the beautiful views of the lush Assam plains. Bring a camera to capture the play of sunlight on these ancient carvings, and don’t miss the chance to sit peacefully for some moments here, connecting with its spiritual aura.
