Chief Minister Directs District Commissioner to Prepare DPR for the Preservation and Enhancement of the Deopahar Archaeological Site
Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma today visited the archaeological site of Deopahar located in Numaligarh, Golaghat district.
It may be noted that the remnants of a stone temple at this site are believed to date back to between the 10th and 11th centuries AD. The site is adorned with exquisitely carved mythological stone sculptures, and the remains of the temple itself stand as a testament to the region’s rich architectural legacy. These artefacts not only reveal a high degree of artistic sophistication but also underscore the spiritual and cultural ethos of the time. The surrounding landscape of Deopahar, nestled among verdant hills and forests, continues to attract those drawn to both its natural beauty and historical significance.
Dr. Sarma, emphasizing the site’s profound spiritual and artistic value, reaffirmed that the State government would take necessary steps for its preservation and further development. In this regard, he directed the District Commissioner of Golaghat to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the appropriate preservation and enhancement of the site.
Accompanying the Chief Minister on this visit were Minister of Agriculture etc. Atul Bora, Minister of Tourism etc. Jayanta Malla Baruah, Member of Parliament Kamakhya Prasad Tasa, the District Commissioner of Golaghat, and other senior officials of the state government.
