An enigma, a mystery, a marvel and in the words of Omar Khayyam, "a veiled past which I could not see." The origin of this magnificent archaeological ruin is still little known. Kamrup- the ancient name of Assam- is believed to have derived its name from the legend that Love- God Kama or Madan , after being turned into ashes by an angry Shiva, was reborn here. One school believes that Madan was reborn and united to Rati in this tiny hillock. |
