Moidams

Moidams, the Mound-Burial System of the Ahom Dynasty, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in India, is a unique funerary tradition located in Assam. These grass-covered burial mounds, dating back to the 13th century, serve as the resting place of Ahom kings and nobles, reflecting the dynasty's rich history and Tai-Ahom cultural heritage. They symbolize an enduring link to India's ancient past and traditions.
