Deopahar Archaeological Site
Deopahar
An ancient Hindu temple site on a hill near Numaligarh, where finely carved stone fragments lie scattered among the trees.
Deopahar is a small hill near Numaligarh and the site of a Hindu temple dating from about the 10th to 11th centuries, protected by the Assam state archaeology department. Stone fragments carved with deities, dancers and floral patterns, along with temple foundations, lie scattered across the summit, and some pieces are displayed in a small on-site museum. Surrounded by forest with few visitors, the climb to the top takes about 15 minutes. It is about 20 kilometres from the eastern range of Kaziranga and can be visited on the same day as the Kakochang Waterfall. Admission is inexpensive.
